我剛在做的那件事情是,我在感覺我自己的脆弱,對於這整件疫情的事情,感覺到一種悲傷、憤怒、跟焦慮,這種焦慮是來自於,每一天每一天被接受著面對一種被囚禁在牢籠的感覺,然後我一直很期待著去釋放這種感受,所以我就不斷的在這個草皮當中游移,尋找自己。因為有時候,你會感覺到自己已經非常的無助,也開始冷落自己,感覺失去了方向,所以在這當中我不斷的不斷的,在焦慮、恐懼、悲傷、憤怒中游移,但始終現在還沒有一個答案。
為什麼跳舞?這件事情,我覺得它可以很簡單也可以很複雜。很簡單的是,你可以透過你自己的心,用你的身體,去感受著「生命的律動」。
但複雜的事情是,當所有的交流變得非常複雜的時候,它就是一個非常「複雜」的開始。心要去彼此的心,身體要去觸碰彼此的身體,這件事情,當如果生命就是這樣子,沒有這種緣分,它也可以變的很複雜。

The thing I was just doing was that I was feeling my fragility. For this whole epidemic, I felt a kind of sadness, anger, and anxiety. This kind of worry comes from being accepted every day.  Facing a feeling of being imprisoned in a cage, and then I have been looking forward to releasing this feeling, so I kept wandering in this turf, looking for myself.  Because sometimes, you will feel that you are helpless, and you also start to neglect yourself and feel lost, so in this process, I keep wandering in worry, fear, sadness, and anger, but always now  There is no answer yet.

 This matter, I think it can be very simple or very complicated.  The simple thing is that you can feel the “rhythm of life” through your own heart and your body.

But the complicated thing is that when all communication becomes very complicated, it is a very “complex” beginning.  The heart has to go to each other’s heart, and the body has to touch each other’s body. If life is like this, without this kind of fate, it can become very complicated.

Something like a coming back. Where? I don’t know. To start from? Yea.

#3
Dance.. (quiet laugh).

#4
I have to trust in general and to be open. To receive, to give, to give up, to leave something, and to survive, to live, to breath, to dance, no?

#5
Yes I just.. Just right now, that is me, how I feel and how I can get here in the space. Nature.. Animals, humans, walking talking, walking together so.. Yea.

#6
I think.. I think just nothing while I am moving, because dance is for me also therapy and the space for me to release and let things flow. If I improvise I try to let go of thoughts patterns, let go of thinking and controlling. Even if there is a task I try to be free within that task and let my spirit do the job. 

#7
Ja. Heute bin ich ein bisschen traurig. Aber alles ist okey. Ich hoffe, alles gut wird. Ich hoffe, dass dieses Jahr schnell vorbei ist, und dass Corona tot wird. Ich hoffe, dass alles gut werden. 

#8
Dance.. Dance is such a thing I wanna do.

#9
It is a way of communication where I can freely express myself. Even though is free interpretation, I feel that I am free of having misunderstandings. I am hundred precent myself, all the time, while I am dancing. I go to deep side of myself. I travel there and I let myself go as deep I as can at the moment. I am always being inspired or having this limitation of my mood or space or what I am surrounded by. 

#10
I think it is a special opportunity to be available for everything that can happen.
I think is a special opportunity to be…
available for everything that can happen.

Eu acho que estar… eu acho que estando disponível, aberto para qualquer coisa que o espaço possa te oferecer façam que você dance, sendo dançarino ou não.

Isso foi uma coisa importante que aconteceu hoje, eu pude sentir o que… somente o necessario,

Eu pude sentir o que era preciso fazer, como um afinamento de um instrumento, do meu proprio corpo.

#11
It is movement from outside to inside,  musicality, spontaneously, imagination, picture, feeling and gathering. 

#12
Well we are just not use to speak. I think, I have need of space much more wilde than before. I need open space.
J´aimerais pas trop comparer, mais en même temps avant j´étais plus “étroite”.
Et qu´aujourd´hui j´ai besoin d´ “expandre”, d´”expansionner” mon mouvement, mon intérêt et mon moi.

#13
For sure the space around me, to catch the feeling and the color, the nature. 

#14
In this period I have been dancing a lot outside becuase of limitation of being inside or also maybe the fact that to be inside feels somehow suddenly so restricted and claustrophobic. Even if you are without the mask or just in general. We have been limited by the structures of the buildings. To be outside is even more a relief than normally as I think. There is somehow this feeling of relief and letting go and freedom and also opens because of the place where we are in as well.. in the nature.. Today I especially feel a need to scream or to relief something because of this tension, which is building up inside and that I feel physically. And also I think the nature of this project as well as of the photos and recordings, taking individuals also highlights, I think, we are all become much more closer to ourselves, how we are individuals inside of this and how it is really made us reflect as everybody says but also to become stronger enough in our own individuality and personality.

글쎄

그냥 그게 자연스러운거니까

혹은 가장 좋아하니까

혹은 내가 좋아하는 색깔이니까

혹은 그냥일 수도 있겠다

가장 사랑하니까, 그게 제일 맞는 것 같은데

Well
Umm
Just because it’s natural
Or because I like it the most
Or because it’s my favorite color
Or it could just be

Because I love it most, I think that could be best answer myself

Attention – you realize more the outside and the inner space. You realize the noises of the cars, the cold wether, the slow process of how the clothes get wet. I like to use the music because it is an easy key to certain state. It brings me somewhere. I come from ballroom dances and we have had certain movement combinations. We rehears them all the time and it was our goal to get better at it. At Folkwang they teach us to listen to yourself and to understand what is coming out of you. Sometimes you have to put you antenna and receive. For me it is difficult to recieve longer parts of something. We are not attentive enough to receive what is happening and it can become superficial. People were struggling and trying to break this cliché of dance that has to be beautiful. It is beautiful if it is you and true. It is already enough. You don’t have to jump higher or turn more than the others. If it is part of your personality to be quick and you can do it – it is fine. It is something fragile that I have learned just at Folkwang.

At the beginning, I tried to fell more wind. My body is warm and wind is cold, so I can feel more cold. I am inspired by wind and also by birds. At the last moment I could see the small island and I really want to go to Japan. I haven’t been in Japan since 1,5 year. I could see the island that looks like Japan. 

#18
I felt my body really willing to move although is super cold now. I felt that I had a lot of energy from you, from your camera and it was not like somebody was telling me what to do. I was dancing with you or with the space. This gave me the feeling that my body was elastic, flexible and ready. Ready to go, ready to move and it is been a while since I felt like this. It is super nice. 

#19
The shape or texture or smells, or little voices. I like to observe how nature moves. If I move, if I make wind, the branches are also moving. I really like the shape of branches. I like to pretend I am a branch. You melt into the nature and you also become a branch. I also heard a dog barking and it was already like a music. It inspired me to move.

#20
It gave me time to revalue things I do. First of all, I have to be honest. First with me. I was not honest because my wishes were artificial. I wanted to be good, to be nice. When I don’t follow artificial things, I go in to my inner kid and I see what he images and sees. I think everyone has it. Everyone has honestness. Another question is: you allow your ‘’adult’’ to let the kid to be free or not. This time with Corona, I understood that nobody cares if I am good, am beautiful or not. Everybody cares about themselves first. When they see something honest, it touches them. Movement is life. If we will not move we will die super fast. If we will not move our brains, our soul, ass.
