Movement with Ji-Yun

Expanded music also means expanding collaborations. I have never actually worked with a dancer before.  Our warmups have transported me back to childhood, where I always felt free to explore movement, sound, time, and space before adolescence installs the strings onto our hearts, heads, and limbs, rendering us as the next wave of marionettes upon a set of adult norms.

Adulthood has been rife with responsibility and fear of judgment. A lot of my artistic friends are unconcerned about this. I wonder how I ended up in two worlds. I'd love to be the unconcerned, unchained artist, but that has never been 100%, or even 85% compatible with my nature.  I think there is something about schools that strip this out of us. Well, that and the need to eat and pay rent, of course...
