Debora Ott is a writer, editor, and arts management consultant whose abiding passion is to build community through a shared appreciation of the creative process. The founder of Just Buffalo Literary Center, Inc. in Buffalo, New York, she accepted the prestigious New York State Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts in 1997. She is the author of About Face: A Guide to Founder Transition which was published by the New York State Council on the Arts. Along with Susan Eldridge, Debora will use the hero's journey as a template for a dance version of the tale of Little Red Riding Hood at Mythic Journeys. The two will lead a workshop addressing questions about the nature of Little Red Riding Hood as a cautionary tale, examining current and mythic roles for women, and exploring the crucial boundaries between self and progeny.
