united sorry

i will do a very old solo about silence and the death of my father within two weeks. now six years later, i still want to be in silence a lot, on stage , and outside stage. but something changed, my comprehension of what silence is , becomes more profound. people always laughed when i said them that i like silence so much, because i can’t stop talking when i move on stage. but since mexcio, the research in danslab/den haag and my discovery of Eros, the silence has become a sensual experience. Silence isn’t an absence of sounds, it is a deepening of listening what already exist, in me, in the other, in the landscapes around me.

i looked as trehearsals of georg, heide and me, and i was touched by our bodies in stillness, we became very human, just by resting in our bodies, and not controling the movements which emerged from this silence. i am happy to work on this silence with frans in our new piece, to rework my martha graham part in front of the mirror, and to start the work with maria. But even i think it will influnece my performance with latifa and my humble shadow appearance with anne teresa.

silence is accepting the being a body.
