What are some of the images you embody while dancing? Feel anything/one arise repeatedly when you dance?
One of mine is obviously the fox, but I also seem to channel insects, either cyborgs or aliens (can't tell yet - or it is both), and my dead grandmother. Other repeated images or instincts (primal urges) that present themselves have been:
sensuality
violence
sex
transcendence
innocence
androgeny

Re: your butoh anima
Fri, June 22, 2007 - 9:07 AMI too would also have to say that sensuality, violence and innocence are a few of my images/instincts while dancing. that's what I love about butoh. it can be a process of healing for the dancer and the audience which is why i'm drawn to it so much.
I also tend to have a sense of inhibition always because I have this shyness about me which ties a lot into the innocence, but being a gemini there's definitely another manifestation that emerges in my dance/movement. I was a very shy kid. As far as people, the image of a grandparent does enter every now again. I'll be doing an improv solo in a couple weeks so I'll probably come back to this topic for sure. I'm very curious to see what happens because of the many events that I've experienced in the past month. I'll be thinking of these questions.
thanks! -

am body
Sat, June 23, 2007 - 12:37 PMwhen I perform I seek to be the open vessel. I am everything that was and ever shall be. From the first moment my musicians put their hands of white paint upon me i am no longer my body, i am a glow of light that roles up to my open eye and i flow with and like the waters, in which we all come from.
