New piece? Falling Apples/Eden

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts,

there can be no more hurt, only more love."

Something new in the works: HK Dance Alliance is calling for submissions from Emerging Choreographers, and I have decided to submit a proposal. It is quite exciting to be thinking about a dance again, and I have found that the intention to do so is attracting a lot of energy.

Falling Apple/Eden will a piece for 5 or 7 dancers. It is a piece about innocence: the freshness of a new-born in joyful discovery of the world; and the sudden freshness of the world in the wake of a tragedy.

The starting point for this piece comes from the walk-with-apple-on-head exercise that I often use in my movement awareness classes; and will also be an opportunity for me to revisit the space of the tragic chorus.
