Ellie's blog - Day 14

This is unfamiliar ground.

I am annoying commuters with my clicky camera

I am choosing to draw lines on paper to music instead of choosing to dance

I am quiet...

I am given the opportunity to lead

I am contemplating why distortion is so intriguing to me and finding no answers

I am without the repetition of rehearsal/ the sweating/ the perfecting of movement

I am trying to find more to say/ to ask

I am writing

I am sleeping in the afternoon

I am trying to arrange thoughts at the pace of discussion

I am sharing the space with children

I am saving postcards of Kate Moss and Queen Elizabeth 1 because there is something...

I am waiting for the sound of another person

Familiarity for me is unison. Is Jetes. Is being molded into a choreographers vision. Is not questioning. Is not being heard. Is being seen. Is being physically not mentally exhausted. Is making choices only within the tightest framework. Is image.

This morning, is the first real attempt to contemplate my last 13 days. There is no particular one element which has stuck with me as something that I wish to pursue but an overwhelming sense that experiencing this unfamiliarity will affect me more once I am no longer experiencing it.
