want to be part of my dance?

me dancing in a group modern workhello :)

as the summer passes by and i realize that i will most likely be adapting my final year as a graduate student in dance to accommodate my recovery, i have tons of time to consider my final research.  i know that this injury will influence my work.  there is no way it couldn’t.  it has affected my entire life. 

so…considering that you are also going through a life-altering experience with your own injury and recovery process, i wonder if you would like to be a part of my dance?  here is how:

send me words, images, sounds, smells, anything that comes to mind regarding your injury. 

here are some examples of words that come to my mind:
disassembled, fragmented, obstructed, frayed, sutured

your contributions will be used in the creation of dance phrases.  these phrases will be a part of a larger performance used in conjunction with research for my master’s degree.  they can be as literal or abstract as you wish - i would just love to have others’ input!

    Hello,

    Some of my words - Boredom, stranded, lifeless, annoyance, recovery, expectations, goals.

    Hi:

    “anger, disappointment, reflective, impatient”

    We should really write haiku’s every week and see if our state of mind improves :)

    I’m sure this experience will make you a better dancer. You don’t know sweet unless you’ve had bitter. I will never downplay the importance of stretching before sports again.

    thank you for sharing! it is true - i appreciate the simple things because of this: walking, doing laundry by myself, cooking, etc. so when i can get back onto the stage again and dance it will be the sweetest thing. i also agree that having some sort of outlet does help in the healing process.
