Capelthwaite is named to honour San Francisco Branch dancer Cap Moran (August 8, 1954-April 3, 1993). This dance was created not so much in memory of Cap but more to celebrate the generous energy that infused him. A believer in the waxing and waning of the seasons of life as observed in the rituals surrounding the Summer and Winter solstices, Cap created himself. \u201cCap” was the abbreviation for \u201cCaptain\u2019: a nickname he was known by in scouting. When it became politically expedient in his student radical days to change his name, he came across \u201cCapelthwaite\u201d in a name book and took it as his own. \u201cMoran\u201d was the name of the town that his father, Carl Anderson, came from. Thus, Michael Anderson was reborn as Capelthwaite Moran – or Cap as we all knew him \u2014 the Captain of his own soul and the Captain of his life\u2019s joumey, even though that journey ended too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
