Creations

When I am creating what is the goal or purpose?

My purpose in my creations is self-expression. I feel often a burning desire to express myself, just as I am doing with these words. It’s about creating a choreography that expresses an idea or situation, story or feeling that is often part of my current and actual experience. Be it inspired by an actual theme/experience in my life, a book that I have read or my personal opinion on a topic, it is a process of making sense of my environment and the world in which I live. Capturing its essence, I then explore the possibilities of many different perspectives to expand, develop and refine its meaning and reflect on what it means to me.

My goal is always to create an experience that is accessible to all, understandable and deep in meaning. That means a multi-layered message. Every person experiences life in their own way from their own unique perspective. The way they experience life is valid as it is their own experience. The same thing I believe happens when one is watching a piece of theatre or art. It will have a general effect, but people will feel differently about it as they interpret the piece they engage with, as it relates back to their own personal experience. To me a reaction is important, not what the reaction is. This is engaging, as an artist, with ones audience.
