...on stillness
"...what I find
myself excited by is stillness as a focus in the body.
When you think about stillness of course, you realise that the body is
never still.
Stillness is a quality of the mind and body that ideally you always carry
with you - and if you can tap into that stillness it seems to stimulate
movement from a particular source.
I heard John Berger recently
talking about writing being like smashing the silence around the word.
It's the same in dance. There's a stillness around movement waiting to
be broken
...and when you go through that stillness to find the movement,
there's another stillness at the centre of that...and so it goes on."
