The two quotes below aptly sum up the philosophy of my dancing:
"Imagine then a dancer who has attained such a degree of understanding that her body is simply the luminous manifestation
of her soul; whose body dances in accordance with the music heard inwardly in an expression of something out of another, profounder
world." - Isadora Duncan
"I speak two languages: English and body." -- Mae West

| 1 hour solo improvisation,2005 |
"RISK: It's Really All One Dance", March 18 & 19, 2005, Collective Unconscious, NYC To
heal in the body what resides in the spirit - we must dance. To heal in the spirit what resides in the body - we
must dance.
"RISK: It's Really All One Dance" explores the chapters of the soul expressed through
past lives over the ages; the different stories and the common thread of human experience, shades from suffering to joy. These
lives we've lived and live are chapters in the larger story of our soul.

"The best improvisations are when it seems like the score has already been written in space/time, and the body makes
it manifest." - Helen Omand

Letter from Martha Graham to Agnes De Mille
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not
your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your
business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your
work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased.
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps
up marching and makes us more alive than the others. |
