this is what I am doing now
I am in the studio, working with director/choreographer Bagryana Popov on her project, The Sunflower. She invites—or creates conditions for—lengthy improvisations in which I am exploring psychological and physical states, and also looking to hover in and out of these states (turning them on and off). The work involves playing with a range of (mostly) internal stimuli: imagination, memory, bodily tones.
What is most significant—in terms of our collaboration—is the very strong feeling of trust I feel in the space. This support, characterised by Bagryana’s “warm watching”, means I feel able (and welcome) to express a plethora of physical, conceptual and dynamic ideas (regardless of their ‘value’).
