the new york experience #2

written on Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I live very close to the empire state building, I know a place where they have very, very good cafe. I go there almost everyday. I am thinking of the aesthetics in my work. I love a precise form of something that is blurry; something that generates a certain kind of emotion when you see it, but at the same time escapes every meaning or capacity to name it. How to make something that isn’t arbitrary but at the same time can’t be categorized as something that is deliberately chosen? So I must escape the know body language of daily behavior and the known language of dance. How to dance in a language that is interpreted as a kind of non-dance, but still communicates with the public.

Instead of following in the footsteps of Terpsichore I want to daydream about moving with Eros. I want to develop my own movement vocabulary through the perception of the five senses.

There is a lot of work to do.

And my question to Eros is also how to connect with the person you love, when desires, dreams, expectations and even ideologies about love changed. Eros accepts the discontinuation of live, we must to use the senses all the time as we use them for the first time and in between we must let go.

These are all words. But how to relate them to the practice of making work, of exploring love, of meeting the world, the town, old and friends.
