IN A PENDULAR PATHWAY FROM A SELF-INDULGENT HIPPIE TO AN ANORECTIC PREACHER I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH LISTENING TECHNIQUES


MOST RECENTLY I'VE PUT NEUTRALITY IN THE CENTER. NOT AS A DENIAL OF THE FEELING BUT AS AN ANCHOR, A PLACE FROM WHERE I CAN INVITE THE AWARENESS TO THE MATTER, TO THE CONCRETE, TO THE TASK, TO THE BONE, TO THE CHOREOGRAPHIE. AN ANCHOR FROM WHERE THE DANCE CAN UNFOLD INTO ANCESTRAL MEMORY


IT IS FROM THIS PLACE OF SILENCE, COMMITMENT AND ATTENTION, THAT I SEARCH FOR WAYS
TO BRING POLYRYTHMS INTO THE BONES AND THE DIAPHRAGM,
TO EXCITE THE GATE BETWEEN THE CONSCIOUS AND THE UNCONSCIOUS AND
TO STIMULATE VISCERAL IMAGERY

TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE STAND AND HOW LONG WE CAN STAND FOR
TO REWIND THE WORDS
TO HONOR OUR TAIL
TO HONOR OUR PAIN

TO BLUR
TO SLEEP
TO SINK A LITTLE BIT DEEPER IN THE HORSE'S EYE
