Chac chac
Balance balance – rocking side to side with a syncopated bounce
Candles on palms – hot wax drip on hand
Head veil – moving – spiritual
Holding hands all night long in a winding circle
Trance – togetherness – belonging without speaking
Rocking – swaying – hopping
Blue velvet, red braid, twisted leather
Turning
Surge forward
Surging sideways
Push and drive
Rushing with the accordion
But with very clear and pointed stamps – that said YES and HERE and NOW
Here now and yes this moment all together – doesn’t matter that we speak differently – I belong to this group
A syncopation
A silent rhythm
A way a carrying vibration and drive through the body
As a support
As a trigger
As a drive
And now calmly stepping via walking with ric – very tall
Standing next to height and it’s very calm
And fibernaci
A series of oiled arm rolls
Fists and forearm acting as cogs
Legs below underpinning straight down and planted
And there is a very faint musicality – quiet but oiled, sliding
It feels – proper
It feels ‘intellectual’
I like feeling ‘intellectual’
And then a stepping out pattern – bird like – stalk
And the stalk becomes a kind of wind turbine
And our arms still and straight and up but with momentary flickering signals
Again it feels ‘intellectual’
It feels like Cunningham
It feels intellectual ..
But it seems that it is also funny
And I don’t mind that its funny
I like that it feels intellectual and funny at the same time
And I remember laying carpet tiles wearing a skirt
I am remembering the woods
Beautiful day
Diana’s funeral – so surreal in some ways
Autumn – as leaves were on the ground – but a warm sunny autumn day
Scooter
Walking in a concentric circle with the camera following
Happy then but also with a seed of doubt that this set up wasn’t good for me
Was kind enough – the transaction lacked …. Trust? Respect?
Arriving from Spain
Trying to be upbeat even though my heart had been broken
My value as a dancer shattered
And hiding it well –
Be funny be funny – wry – smart word play – intellectual but funny
But aching – but relieved to be with people who seemed nice
