It is challenging in every meaning..

Physically, mostly. 

The process is very much fun for now but  feel responsible for where the work will go. Most of my life now is about the residency...

But still so many things are happening in this world.

I'm trying to read news paper because I'm subscribing. But it piles up so quick...

I wanna sleep a little bit longer...

I wanna dine out like people laughing in the street...

掘り起こす

ダンスという鎧を着たダンサーを

裸にする

そしていかに作品の声を見つけるか

もっときわどいものなんだ

定義できない

Done with the first day of the residency.

Talked. In the chilly room.

Good. Talk is always good way to get to know each other.

It has been a while since worked on the ghost shoe last time.

And it feels different now.

It is unique in movement wise.

But now trying to find its own voice.

What can I say to the world.

If I have to say good bye.

I need the dancers' true, extreme, deep voice. I have to trigger it. I have to find it.

Some are good at showing it and some are not. It is not technique. I have to let it be. I have to acknowledge. I have to tell this is a safe place.

ショック

書きかけていた熱文が全部消えた

これだから機械は困る

What is cue?

What is our own dance?

What is music?

Plan is just a plan

Ultimately we have to share our weakness

It is not easy because we expect from each others

We talk through dance

What is a statement?

World is there

And dance is in the world 

What do I say

これからBrian Brooks at BAM

Traveling small towns is inspiring.

It is totally different from going to a city and do the similar things as you do in NYC. You do not know where to grab coffee, bread, where to spend time. Most lands are private property. You are not very welcomed. But I love this.

At Croton on the Hudson.

来週からMana Residenceが始まる。
２ヶ月、週５日、ニュージャージーに通う日々。
ベネズエラ公演、Nutcracker、Benefit Showcaseの企画をやりつつの長丁場になる。
最後の週末、旅してよかった。

昔読んだ「星の巡礼」を読み返す。

I went to Dea:Beacon and now at a small town, Peekskill. Stars, great Mexican food, chilly wind. Gorgeous sleep.

後悔した旅はひとつもない。

Leaving for Dia Beacon in a couple hours. I needed this...one day getting-out-of NYC

２０１３年１０月

振付家　Yoshiko Chumaに出会う。

言葉に帰するダンス。言葉にしなくてはいけないダンス。

新鮮で、懐かしくて、自分と向かい合う稽古。

来月はベネズエラに行って踊ってきます。
