#decadeinart

It’s become increasingly clear that I have some need to express myself, for what reason I do not know. I have spent the past ten years analysing everything. My choices, my past, my life, my identity. Why am I this way? Why do I constantly feel like I’m not good enough? Why do I feel like I do not belong anywhere?

I wrote my way through many challenges and people seemed to respond through that. I cooked my way through motherhood and people seemed to respond to that. I started, stopped, started dancing again and people seemed to respond to that.

I struggled mainly because I didn’t know how to express myself through just dance. How could one part of me express my entire identity? I wrote, I cooked, I thought a lot and now I think that it’s time to put everything together.
Let me show you who I am, what I have done and what I intend to do. It is hard to put an artist’s mind on paper but this is my attempt at trying to keep my presence in my absence.

How can a dancer be present without being present? How can I share with you everything that I have created, performed, wrote? Is it possible to know everything after watching a 90 minute performance? Do you know why certain artistic decisions were made? Do you know the dialogue that was exchanged?

More attention needs to be paid to the ‘process’ rather than the actual product. By doing this we invite everyone to enter our minds. Our inspirations and sometimes even the reactions. We are such a product-driven society that we forget how to create anything anymore.

Enough reacting, I want to activate.
