Performance Space


Today, when I performed properly for the first time, I was relieved when it was not that big of a deal. However, I was extremely surprised by the difficulty of communicating my ideas after the performance in words. Again, this confusion arose in which I used to have a clear understanding of communicating my ideas in words, but I was put into a setting where words didn´t quite fit. In that moment I began contemplating the role of the audience, and the type of audience involved since everyone within the audience (except Bill Bragin) knew the prompt from which I was working and could draw their own conclusions based upon this. So I realize that although I found it difficult to explain the work I had done there, I also felt less pressure due to everyone else also having an understanding of the prompt. In a way, it felt as though our individual pieces weren´t purely our own, in the end, due to this comfort, neutrality, understanding, and observation, the pieces became interlinked and so did we in that moment as dancers.
