“Maxi is a specialist in the Isadora computer program for creating dance. He is such a fine , talented, and beautiful person.  I am so grateful to Maxi and Lujan for their generosity and kindness to me.  The dancers in Argentina were quietly fearless.  I felt so at home there, of course, with such commitment and understanding of the relationship dance and film (site work) and dance and technology.” Maida Withers
