sandik Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I heard this through the grapevine, but didn't want to say anything until it was announced officially. She had a great career as a performer, and was doing wonderful work as a teacher and stager. She worked on staging Diversion on the student ensemble at Cornish College here in Seattle -- they gave such mature performances of the work, in part due to McClain's coaching. I'm so sad that her time with us is finished. Link to comment
