pain ritual transformation.
started with chronic pain. looking at that was a starting point that opened up a whole investigation of “what is wrong?what is out of balance? what is its source?
ask, listen, receive, respond.
My work personally has been to soften and break patterns within the physical body, break patterns in my thinking, to soften and break patterns in my heart, and attend to my spirit, my soul. moving from inauthentic to more authentic.
Choreographically I am setting up circumstance, form, and metaphor to experience freedom and joy….living the metaphor, narrative, and ensuing dance as a container and vehicle for transformation. It is a personal and specific narrative that comes directly from a dialogue with my body, subconscious, history, etc but I think it is a shared narrative on some level and a shared consciousness.
If I can make a transformation through performance.. if i can make a new form to allow new function..if i can change my consciousness in order to change my body/life… if i can change my form in order to allow new states… and create a framework to embody new concepts, together with the energy, presence and consciousness of the audience, then that change and experience happens to all of us potentially. we share in consciousness. that attempt is my gift to you. along with, i hope, a visually, sonically, kinesthetically, interesting stage show.
