| In 1990, some years after graduating from
college, I performed at a showcase called A New Generation of
Dance in Westchester presented by the Dance in Education Fund.
It was there I met three dancers from the Paul Taylor company:
Cathy McCann, Patrick Corbin, and Tom Patrick. They were on the
program dancing a piece by Cathy.
The characters in this dance were based on the
kings one sees in a deck of playing cards.
This idea of portraying iconic characters lodged
in my brain somewhere and probably influenced my future idea of
bringing chess pieces to life.
