electro. magnetic.
I have long been avoiding the use of my full name online, thinking my initials (e.m.p.) to be more than sufficient and just a little bit sexier. Little was I aware that this group of three delicate letters was already in widespread use. I guess that just means I am stuck being an ElectroMagnetic Pulse. If only I had the heels and bodysuit, I could be the next superhero. Well, my boyfriend would love it, anyway.Instead, I'm going to spend a little time learning more about electromagnetism (I'm trying to just stick to the beauty of the science and avoid associations with atom warfare) and a lot of time talking about my performance work.
Why? Because, gosh dangit, the creative process (though I kinda hate that icky term) makes my hair stand on end.
What kind of performance work do I do? Historically I am a dancer, which means I am obsessed with movement. But I am also obsessed with stillness. And with the movement in stillness. And from stillness I became fascinated with observation, perspective, and people watching... me. Because I hate being watched. But I love performing.
Wherein does the difference lie? I am still trying to find out.
