one week down

week one of rehearsal is in the books. 
things I've learned so far: 

• I am very bad at ballet, 
• however, my body learns really fast if I just let it. 
• which of course is, often, very complicated. 

to put it as the late Grotowski would've, the work now focuses on removing the physical obstacles, and the mental ones, too. 
Yes. I can do this. I am doing it. 


The challenge is not to be as good as everybody else at certain things. 


The challenge is to keep at it, to improve, to focus on the details. 


In short, to remind myself of all the important things that I often like to teach others.


The body, my body, is the lab. And the experiment. And the materials. All in one. 


I see the results, every day. 


And we continue.
