New Old Thoughts


working on new movement material...thinking about time, rhythm... i'm actually counting. why did we stop counting? needed to i suppose.

am showing this material this friday. a friend pointed out – after i shared my concern about it not being 'finished' – that i could look at this process as being much larger and longer and that this showing happens to fall somewhere in the middle. i like this idea and it is not new. how do i forget these things?

my specific inquiry at this point is about the internal experience in shifting from set choreography to scored improvisations. there's something more in here about how i'm creating, my approach, that i can't put my finger on. feeling very 'old school'.

presently very inspired by Batsheva Dance Company and the Gaga approach to movement.
