I've having one of those moments where after rehearsing a dance piece I'm frightened of it. I don't know if frightened is the right word...maybe it's a wordless thing...the fear of what the dance may or may not hold. Will it say anything to the audience? Will it convey anything....can I hold them? Will it be boring? Will it be meaningless to them?
It's like being raw...worse than naked....a piece of your soul out there for everyone to see.......
............................
images keep looping over in my head for the piece.....i could be up all night at this rate....i need to get to bed. I teach tomorrow and my mouth is starting to ache.

I keep seeing the dream I had with the snow. It's like a labyrinth .....he keeps trying to find his way out but there is no longer a way for him. He lost it. You can't help someone who refuses to be helped. I had to leave him there and it's so cold. My feet barely touch the snow. I had to leave him there.......

The adage sounds really difficult, both to perform and appreciate. I think for those sorts of pieces you need to be selective about who your audience is - some artwork wasn't meant to be appreciated by the masses, and that's what this sounds like. It also sounds fascinating, and worth the effort learning to appreciate. Do you write your own dance pieces, or are you learning ones that others have choreographed?
