Dear Lee,
i am happy, slowly coming back to dance. i will give a short performance this sunday. Thinking of you and of all the amazing resonances that are now happening at the Subbody Festival. Thank you and the students for sharing this with us all.
take care of yourself,
syv
I am slowly coming back to dance.
The delight of my body
In silent speed
Moving slowly slowly
Silent speed
The delight of moving
Of dancing
Feeling my bones
Dancing
Feeling my fluids my organs my muscles my joints
Dancing
A taste of ecstasy
I become Energy
Glowing from the tips of my fingers
Down to my feet and to the ground,
Back to earth
There is no more inside nor outside
There is no more body no more shape
I am energy
I become lights
I become colors
I become transparent
Reflecting all that is
I am Energy
I see the space between my cells
And the body "idea" vaporizes
In the light of intimate meeting, this research was curious about what kind of resonance we could find if one dancer was to meet one on one with one person of the audience. Questioning the depth of this possible meeting, what could come out of this intimacy, how deep could the dance go, how honesty comes when meeting in this closeness. Who is the performer if there is only two people meeting. What are the limits of each person in this meeting? Those are few questions we had in mind, that where for us a motor and a frightening challenge. During the performance, beautiful meetings, moments of intimate resonance. Thank you to the generous dancers and audience for this great red light night.

Hello Lee !
How are you doing ?
Lots of dances happening around the world.
Each day rhizoming is getting more and more
meaningful. Spreading from beyond.
Impossible to stop. Alive.
There has been a lot happening in Madrid, but
between practice, performing and daily
business of living in a capital I had few time to
write...
I've been with your friend Hisako in May, and
with Zambrano in April... both curious to visit
subbody one day.
From flying low to slow motion, opening a wide
range of physical possibilities. And on every
point of that line that goes from apparent
stillness for hours to postmodern samurai style
moves, every point of that line crosses a
potential universe. So many worlds constantly
welcoming our attention and offering renewed
creativity. Somehow everything gets so simple
when we're inmersed in infinite complexity.
On saturday I'll perform my last creation, a
duo, called Sosiego, meaning more or less
Serenity. The info is attached.
I'll also give last workshop on saturday and
sunday.
Sosiego is an attempt to approach the crisis
that inhabit our body with a peaceful mind as
free as possible from human judgement. My
first piece without naked body, lots of stuff on
the scene, light changes, music, lots of images
for people to dream their own creation.
Something like a clear unexplicable dream.
(continue to next column)
In july I'll give two weeks workshop - Dialogue
with gravity. I'm happy to share with bodies
more than two days - although I really enjoy
two-days workshops. I feel ready for other
experiments that need longer period of time.
The info is also attached.
Well... hope that festival is going spiral,
take care and infinite thanks,
j'm

Night throws a dark blue blanket over the
body, as if to keep it safe.
There is no such hiding place.
Footsteps approach
strange creatures enter
songs of another world tremble into the bones
of the helpless body
no story, no names, no time...
no logic can be applied here
What to do?
Listen
Listen through the hidden skin
Listen most carefully
to what life wants to share
While falling into endless night

Free Resonance Cobody on the theme of freedom, constriction and nurture, which is my main research subject at this moment.
This is the unedited full 35 minutes, probably a bit boring except for the hardcore butoh die-hards and students...
Thanks to my classmates for making this possible
