Staying happy seems to be key in being creative and making this journey. I've had some more changes with dancers and so the trio piece will have somebody new join us for the first time in the studio tomorrow. Up above is a photograph of the only graduate student who is dancing in this performance. His English name is 'How Chen' and he has quite the accomplished background for a dancer majoring in choreography.
It has been a pleasure to work with those as keenly curious as myself to break into dry ground and find oil wells. I'm excited for his solo piece that is based on the painting 'Heroes'. What is beautiful to see is how the dances are lifting out of the realm of art, poetic and song improvisations to take on an idenetity of their own. It's like we are looking at the same concept from the vantage point of a higher place. The group piece has already stepped into this realm. I'm using simple titles for the dances this time. I'm fascinated with the depth that simplicity carries and a sort of pure inncoence that is transferrable in this state. We each have such a great capacity to create, I'm so glad we don't limit ourselves to what we know to do well but carry a heart for discovery and adventure in all things. Our lighting designer has also been confirmed(more on that collaboration later) and the Yuhan's original musical composition should be ready by next week. It's good to see the wheels turning and the song in my spirit is 'Carry on, carry on, the wind will make you fly~'
