I was given this CD as a gift sometime ago by a friend in Glasgow. I knew I wanted to dance to it but was unsure how to grapple with its melody. It can be sparse at times but also incredibly tender. Those who know me know the latter is something I always lean towards. I have danced it 4 times and each time I get closer to what I am aiming for. Perhaps this is it? More than likely still not. I now understand that improvisation is a fantastic tool to throw great, rubbish, simple and complicated ideas into the mix but how do you pull them all together? Something needs to be planned. That will be my next step on this piece.
I danced it in this gorgeous space with a belly full of tapas and some red wine after good conversation and a very relaxed atmosphere. Eh perhaps that’s the right environment for dance.
I sense there is a progression in creating a 5 minute piece for myself. Now perhaps my thoughts to to a doubling of time.
