"There is an old Buddhist koan which goes something like this:  'When the student is willing, the teacher appears.'  I would suggest that the opposite is also true; good teachers find inspirational students in the most remarkable places.  The Artist's Crossing is such a remarkable place--a state of mind if you will--and every performing artist should spend at least one week per year in an Artist's Crossing workshop, whether as a teacher or a student.  Watch your perspective change." --Kathryn Morath (2004, 2005, 2006 'Crossing Guard'), Los Angeles, CA
