Passing the Time update

Putting the finishing touches on the “Passing the Time” duet. It’s all about fine details now.  The choreography is set, the intention behind each movement clear.  Now over to the dancer in me to express myself.  How would I describe this process?

I am building up my physical capacity as we rehearse, discovering new things each time.  For me, as a dancer, it’s about exploration and play. The supporting structure - the steps - are set, which allows me to relax and open up to the other parts of performing.  My aim is to keep the choreography alive and spontaneous. There is no one way of doing this, and in the beauty of that which is live performance, it can be different each time.

As the choreography begins to take hold in my body, I feel a sense of automation.  I stop thinking about the steps and concentrate on how I want to do them. I use my sense of flow and timing to embody the desired feelings. I trust my own inner impulses and follow my feeling of the moment.  This is what I love about performing! It is a flow moment for me.  Personal.  I feel alive, open and vulnerable, that anything is possible!

Performing on stage is exposure.  A moment of vulnerability, allowing myself to be seen for who really I am.  There is no hiding in this moment.   It’s living and I'm am grateful for the experience.
