Pouring myself into feeling the music. No set routine.
Photographs of the video projection:
Shadow of my body caught mid-dance. Caught in the moment. Capturing a presence. Recreating the presence of my body on that street in New York 9 months ago... now an absence.
This is my favourite photograph from my trip to New York Easter 2012:
It naturally came to me as I randomly chose one of my photographs to be projected as a back drop. After a few moments I realised one of the powerful moments in Ed Sheeran's song "Gimme Love" (the song I have been drawn to dance to), is when he shouts: "Love Me".
Subconscious decision or coincedence?
It has taken me a lot of guts to publicly show footage of me dancing solo. I am used to performing in a group. This project can help me get over self consciousness/fear as I move towards performance art.
"When you pour all of you anger and upset through Dance <3... scratch that, when you make yourself feel physically sick from pouring everything you've got, all the shit that's been taken out on you... you take it out on Dance, and that's an amazing feeling." Kirsten Mae Wallace
