Dance is what it will be. The body is disorganised. Instinct is quickly distrusted.

Our ground is brittle, arms bridle.

In the openings, the beginnings that hide in this rat’s nest, prospect of scrutiny arise.

Unframed, misshapen, Dance has unbuckled itself, lush.

Each action, an imperfection.

Artistic note

-

Irina Baldini

Drawing from multiple sources of information, refining the skill of listening and distinguishing between

needs, provocations, desire, boredom, indulgement, delusion.

Things inside the body, intellectual and physical/visceral, motivate movement. Equally effective,

different in result.

Tools for choreographic improvisation help forgetting to think about the action and to focus on the

movement itself.

Action, rhythm, space, shape and dynamic qualities are in the bank.

Weight, flow, time and space provide the safety net.

Body parts are the tools.

The person is the Dance. Beyond any skill.

Gaze condenses one’s attention to sensations and imagination in the body.

The complexity of the body and its possibilities are infinite.

Awareness is more weighted with experience, thought, imagination.
