Imagination

 

1. Words are for contemplation and aim to stimulate;
    they are born of observation at a given point in time.
    As dance moves, so does thought.

 

2. Improvising conveys a person's thought and feelings at a specific time
    - not waiting to be conclusions, these feelings and thoughts are able and desirous enough to take
    form...to be performed... movement coming from all of the many centres in the body.

 

3. The body has a potential of a wide range of expression and recognition of its environment.
    It can orientate itself at the same time both in the tangible world of its sorroundings
    and the intangible world of its imagination.
    In the improvised moment the audience is present as the dance
    deals creatively with these two spheres.

 

4. The body prefers differentation and individuation more than generalization and conclusions.
    The body uses movement to expose the imagination.
    In movement, imagination becomes physical.
