Shela Xoregos

Thank you for believing in me.

Shela, my dear friend, I will miss you dearly. I regret I didn't speak with you one last time before you died. Somehow, it came as a surprise to me. The times we spent together will always remain in my mind. Your humor made life more fun and interesting. You taught me what I know of modern dance.

What a wonderful tribute and celebration of Shela yesterday! She would have loved it. Here is what I said (posting here for those who didn´t attend) shela i met Shela around 2001 when i was cast in the Shadowbox production of The Earth and ME - a wonderful show about the Earth and its humanity designed for children that included puppetry and dance. she choreographed and brought to life the story of Earth and how it´s children must take care of it.

I am so saddened to have just discovered Shela's passing. I knew her as my Choreographer, my Director, and my Mentor. We first met when she was the choreographer for Shadowbox Theater. In all the years I worked with her, she was a stickler for giving our best work and wouldn't settle for anything less. I learnt so much from her! Two of the most memorable lessons were when she taught the cast how to project to the balcony and also how to save our bodies by not agreeing to do physical...

I had the pleasure of working with Shela for a few years in NYC - she choreographed, directed and inspired. I miss her and send love and condolences to all friends, and loved ones. I will look for some photos

Shela and my mother were great friends for over 40 yrs. The love of theater brought them together.
