The Fabric Butterfly is a large scale installation which sits about 8 ft x 12 ft (roughly) when both pieces are brought together. The reason why I started making this piece was because I had inherited a Plymouth of fabrics from my grandmother. After sitting on it for a year and donating half of it to a kids workshop I was co-teaching I decided to start making artwork with it and make something that would represent my nana and papa and the love they shared. This love was beautiful and never perfect lots of time it was chaotic it remained strong and together till the very end. Which made me think of the twin flame connection. I wanted to make an image of a male & female and use the fabrics to represent their aura around them which ended up becoming a cascading river of ribbon, lace, silk, and glitter. After creating the butterfly I wanted to make up 2 characters that would be photographed with the fabric and the art thus extending the art piece to a photo project. I've already coordinated one photo shoot and am working on a few more. You can see more photos on facebook and instagram! 1 love

POINTS OF YOU

This was a beautiful Impro meeting with Zinzi, at Ponderosa performance maratone. We surprise each other with the costumes and Peter Pleyer surprise us with the music.

we had a small process of observing each other for 3 days, one hour a day. We make notes, we talked and we date on stage.

Dechoreography 2 - Meeting

This is a collaboration with my dearest Zolatan Vakulya.
Is a process that still vibrating on the skin, and still being performed.

on the link you can find the whole performance and a small personal reflexion about what the process was for me.

Keep on Using Me

on the link you will find the same text and also the videos from the performance.

This solo was made in 5 days, on a very hard period of transition and adaptation, at P.O.R.C.H. - Ponderosa. Was performed one week before the duet with Zinzi, that I will post here soon,  there is an extremely difference on the energy channeling, and my crazy eyes, I do agree I should had soften them each time a see the video.

so...

 "Dechoreography 1 - References/Recycling/Refresh." 

is a yell that born from this turbulent period. Driving me to places I had never been (or exposed) and wanted to be. 

Unfortunately Because of a camera error I miss a little transition between the first and second part of the solo, was important because it start to happened already when I sit down with the red shirt, was the try out to become something more feminine... 

Below you can find some notes that were happened to me on those days, Even though they were very randomic is important for me to register it here.

____

Choreography is a negotiation with the patterns your body is thinking.


There is something to dechoreograph here.

I want to negotiate with petterns other bodyes are thinking - utopia- 
Someone already did the choice… it was not me… maybe my choice is hear the others choice, or the possibilities is given to me towards choice.
The audience makes the container.


____

STAY CLOSE TO THE SOURCE

How we make a field of choices a friend and not a overwhelming bounder? How we comeback also sometimes to a position of passionate ignorance, enough to choose something, instead to knowing everything? 

____


Dechoreography 1 - References/Recycling/Refresh.


The use of different bodies on the own body. How many people could I bring on the skin? 
Far away collaborations without ask for allowance, observations, notes and questions nourish the content and the body of this performance. References, recycling paths as well as a sense of non authorship were part of the start point, together with the curiosity on the other and it resonance.  Was dechoreographing oneself that this experience was done as a multiple layer of a time and lifestyle exposure.
  

Those are not just my ideas.
You have seen all this before.
What one is if not a clump of references?

____


The need of making NEW, or create something nobody haven't seen always appear as a need for whoever deals with creation. The try to be unic and special. Knowledge is build through out references and different experiences. All this links and diagramans build oneself.  Was never possible to don't refer to something or someone, is a constant exchange of information and transformation of it.
Is a bunch of things that found the explanation to exist, is a bunch of things I Loved try to do. Who is the author of it? A collective...
Something about originality and the way we concern it.
How creation happened?
How knowledge Happened?
My range of freedom...
