Find Me in Here. Notes from the break.

After a break from rehearsal and blogging, we're recharged and getting excited for our upcoming performances.
We're still working hard to polish and finish up the piece (I keep changing and adding things up to the last second), and posting video from our last few rehearsals.
I've also asked the dancers to share some of their thoughts about the process now that we're 2/3 of the way through it, and will put their words here soon. Their experiences have indeed varied from "normal" (though is any process still the norm these days? We're all doing a variety of things) and it's informative to hear what they work through to make sense of this piece.
For me...
Searching for answers and finding them where I didn't expect them. Creating something I don't know very well or even understand. Learning from my dancers, opening my idea of movement. Recognizing, again, that the ingenuity in choreographed movement usually comes from someone else's movement, which is the beauty behind bringing together different movement voices. Loving the moment when Emily told me that this piece is about process -it's brilliant when others can see that. So curious to have an audience be part of this -you change everything by just watching, and we do so by making something for you to see. I hope they will also want to dance!!
