Thank you to the Ojai Festival and to the entire AMOC team! My AMOC colleagues and I were, collectively, artistic director of Ojai’s 2022 festival. After months of planning and preparation, we brought and dove into an exuberant four days of music, dance, and poetry, in venues around the town. Thanks to the loveliest volunteer staff and to the audience, with whom I had conversations and interactions that were the most meaningful part of the whole thing for me, aside from the satisfying work with my colleagues and friends.
