I tend to have such a static approach – do this perfectly, get the combo right, when have we arrived?…
My identity is on the line as I am in class, proving whether or not I can do it.
That is the opposite to how they view it, and the exact opposite to how life is.
A constant exploration.
Right here, moving, acceptance, safety and freedom.
And this brings joy.
(Ailey II is a dance company that came and visited the school I train at for dance. Not only did they share an excellent performance – breathtaking, really – but they also led a masterclass. These are a few reflections from participating in the master class.)
