I wrote most of this back in early May, but kinda forgot about it and didn’t get around to filling in the unfinished bits until this week. It’s basically the extended concept of what will be my last Flare dance production piece. I went with something quite personal this year, so it’s interesting to see how it developed.
I’m sitting at the back of a dance studio, watching Jenn teach one of the most uniquely interesting routines I’ve ever seen—with a beautiful, complex, melodious song as its meter. It’s the perfect music for writing in a public place—so layered and deep, as though it captures the thoughts of everyone in the room and distills them into this eerily coherent package.
“Head…forward. Down, up,” pierces through the music, and my subconscious, as Jenn directs her dancers.
