Dance is desire.
It is born from the need to communicate beyond words.
I feel alive. Rooted.
Is present moment.
Is a gift.
While dancing
I find myself dialoguing with
emotions, memories, images.
Sounds, rhythms, textures,
bodies and space.
This dialogue between
the outside/inside allows me
to get lost in time
and makes me travel
to a subconscious awareness.
The tension between having the control and letting go is what challenges me and intrigues me the most in my movement practice.
