I am curious about how the dance can be an individual journey for each performer. In what ways does this journey mirror our responses in life? In what ways does this journey provide the opportunity to rewire a response, to practice the desired experience in a safe space? How can the dance provide the space to try out new ways of being in the world?
Apron- dropping into the internal world, in the self, moving with eyes closed in a safe space, slow down long enough to sense, discern, and pay attention to what is happening
Threshold- crossing into the unknown,
Crossing- commitment to the unknown- gaining momentum, slowly opening the floodgates, I am caught up, swept up, in the current being pushed and pulled
Pause- I remember the place, the place where I was once at peace, at rest, longing for it to return.
Comfort- With others, but I am not ready for them yet. I need to be alone
Comfort- I am ready. I want you by my side.
Others- I see you hurting. I know your pain. I will stand by you.
Ready- We are ready to move on, to laugh, to create a new normal. We are ready to exist in this place together
Surrender- Acceptance. Residing here.
