Not reflections, nor conclusions. Reasons that keep my research alive.
Engaging with a state of uncertainty is a tendentially uncomfortable condition. By wilfully generating internal conversations or conflicts between two or more (factual or imagined) options presents potentials, which at the moment of doubt are still latent.
Friction between potential options charges the body-mind with resistance and tension, bringing heat into this dialogue. It allows me to stand, figuratively to make a point at that moment in time.
When and if released (thrown into an imaginary vacuum by the task's instruction) the body-mind becomes cóntformal, continuing to morph with no end.
By employing option-volition I provide a pit-stop to this momentum. Whichever first, movement or thought, interrupts it with the next inevitable objection brought up by the tearing tension between desire and responsibility. With option-volition I shift from being passively ever-morphing to an active agent of changes.
Through my research I look for reasons to move and for provocations for change. I invite the body-mind to engage in oppositions and tractions. The sparks and the ephemeral uncertainties that arise are not comfortable. This is where I become vulnerable, and in the courage to face unknowns and to commit to change, I find an urge to share my state with an audience.

How about a dance that changes its mind freely, contradicts itself as often as it wills, confuses codes and systems and ultimately is comfortable with it?
What if rebelling meant questioning givens
and if questioning meant tilting laws
and if laws were codes
and if codes were politics
and if politics were the total complex of relations between living and non-living
and if relations would imply communication
and if dance were communication
and if communication were dialogue
and if dialogue were made of:

Interests, quests, vulnerability,
guts and very legitimate fears,
fragility and indecision.
Don't run, don't prove,
don't show you know anything
more than what you obviously do.
You know little more than nothing,
and you better look for more places
where you know less.
Alive, is a dance that does not know itself (yet).
