From Our Artistic Director July marks the beginning of Pendulum's new season. There is much to look forward to: taking High Art on the road, new opportunities for the talented students in our education program, wonderful visiting artists, and event appearances in other parts of the country. This season we're also welcoming some new staff members. We're delighted to have Thai aerialist and coach Supatchaya "Goy" Suvan join us as a coach and performer. Goy is an accomplished artist from Thailand who has been traveling the world performing and teaching including residencies in India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia and the United States. Some of you may remember her when she came to visit Pendulum in 2010. On the administrative side, welcome to Beth Levy, a seasoned arts administrator who will be taking on day-to-day administrative duties for all of our programs. And last but not least, congratulations to Madeleine Knox, Josie Oleson, and Nikkin Unwin who will graduate in August after completing the 2-year apprentice program. They will join the company this fall and continue to coach next year's students. Read on to find out when we'll be appearing near you, our upcoming fall classes and event appearances.
