****I'm with you on this...

****In Vancouver, Canada there is the Electronic Arts Festival in May. I
am working on the dance portion (choreography and interactive web page) for
a telematic performance on May 18th. More details to follow.

**** I have been doing research and development in Vancouver for the past 1
1/2. My contract ends Mid May. I am searching for ways to continue the
work... I will keep you updated on where/who regarding the next large
project.

****Additional news: The online dance course I co-developed and taught is
about to conclude. It was a terrific experience for me as an instructor
and for the students (from what they tell me but without having read their
evaluations) If anyone is interested in online course development,
please let me know....eventually I hope to bring telematics into
coursework on a regular basis.

Bye for now,
Lisa
