Dance Performance—2014

FIRST ARCH is about being present with my physical and emotional limits. Repetition gives a physical reality to experience. It’s not only about physicality, it’s a state of mind. This human architecture keeps on constructing and deconstructing itself in search of a harmonic equilibrium.

HER BODY A PRIMAL ARCH.
IN HER BODY, THE FIRST ARCH.
THE MEMORY OF A LARGE STONE ARCH.
A BRIDGE.
Repetition gives a physical reality to experience. To repeat , to try again, over and over again .
The control as a proof of existence.
A STATE.
THE ARCH.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ARCH.
I do.
I undo.
I redo.
The fear of falling.
THE FORM HAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY STRICT AND PURE.
A BODY.
