She is the originator of KiVo: The Kinetic Voice, which blends dance and chant, and she is currently recording a CD of songs from her rock musical The Daughters of Urth.

MARIN, CA MONIQUE FERRIS Monique Ferris enjoys spending her time dancing and taking photographs. This spring in Bali she danced Soul Motion with Vinn Martí and attended the Bali Spirit Festival. She feels honored to dance with her camera and witness the exquisite beauty that unfolds. Her images of Soul Motion appear in our feature story on leadership. 6 CONSCIOUSDANCER.COM | SUMMER 2012 consciousdancer Paddling on the Russian River during a River Guidess dance and float adventure. checking in ave you ever had one of those moments where you have a sudden realization who we are that everything is different, that some belief or self-imposed limitation has been dissolved, and a world with new possibilities is open to you?

  • This Style Guide
    THEATRE SURVEY—STYLE SHEET—CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, as of August 2018 – p. 1 Journal Editor: Marlis Schweitzer Style compilation & updates: MG I. GENERAL Unless otherwise specified in this style sheet, copy editors will follow Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary for spelling, hyphenation, and punctuation [supplemented by Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary & American Heritage Dictionary (AHED)] and A Manual of Style, 16th ed. (Univ. of Chicago Press) for editing style. 1. Manuscripts will be edited to avoid linguistic bias, particularly to avoid the generic use of male nouns and pronouns when referring to both sexes, where such editing can be done in a clear and graceful way and without contrivance. 2. “That” will be used with a restrictive clause; “which” will be used with a nonrestrictive clause and set off by commas: He stopped the first car that contained two people. He stopped the first car, which contained two people. or He proposed the only amendment that concerned wage rates. He proposed the only amendment, which concerned wage rates. 3. “Since” will be changed to “because” if and when its sense is ambiguous; for example: Since 1860 was the first year of operation, it is not yet possible to judge the program’s effectiveness. 4. “While” will be used only as an adverb of time. In other contexts the word “although” or “whereas” should be substituted. 5. Use of the feminine article will be avoided in reference to ships, countries, etc.: France, its people. 6. The copy editor will rewrite to avoid overuse of sentences starting with conjunctions. Where a sentence beginning with “But” does not truly contradict what precedes it, or where an “And” simply reiterates a linkage clear from the flow of the text, the conjunction can simply be deleted.
