For the past five years, she's been working on a documentary about the history of jazz funerals in New Orleans, City of a Million Dreams: Parading for the Dead in New Orleans. Part of this documentary production included a full historical reenactment of the dances in Congo Square in the 18th and 19th century, something that's never been done before and required a team of research consultants, a talented art department and costume design team, and a crew of dancers and musicians to create. The documentary is now in post-production; find out more here: www.cityofamilliondreams.com.
