One‘s Own Energy

The work will concentrate on walking, the spine, the pelvis, the sole of the foot, the axis. The body suspended, balance and imbalance,
to be charged, contorted, to let go.
Working in-depth on breathing, muscle control and tactile perception.
Working on the state of “trance”,
on being believed
Trying to find “one’s own energy”, what it is “to feel”.
Becoming aware of the atmosphere, to become space and matter through improvisation.
In a spirit of listening (to oneself and others).
The mind begins to listen, the spirit then begins to dance.

To embrace is to be embraced
Open the door the way the body can open
When you look at the flower, the flower looks at you, you have already become a flower
The inside of the body is the outside of the body, the outside of the body is the inside
The body’s outline disappears, the body melts into space
The line between fantasy and reality is as fine as piece of paper
