Spending time with my wife, choreographing new work, going to movies, studying Russian, visiting my family and friends in CA as much as possible, Exploring Russia. One small hobbie- writing and researching interesting quotes.
Artists of any genre, people who have a passion for dance, music, especially ballet. Some people who are not living anymore. L. V. Beethoven, Jean George Noverre, Matisse, Einstein...many.

Immortal Beloved directed by Bernard Rose, starring Gary Oldman, brilliant film about Beethoven.
When in America: Classic arts showcase, history channel, discovery channel- not really into TVWhen in Russia: Channel Kultura
Lately reading a lot of Russian history, history of religion, biographies, newspapers and journals about politics (although its disillusioning and depressing) My favorite book is by Jean-Geroge Noverre "Letters on Dancing" he was a genius.
My late grandfather Red Murrell, my friend Jerry Blinkenberg who passed away this year.
