Perhaps she could dance first and think afterwards

Recorded at the CND 6 October 2016

I think all my pieces are born by chance. Too much by chance. I would like to be a little bit more methodical. But I think that to be methodical one has to believe and I have a problem: some lack of belief. Art and creation are some of the things that most interest me in life, but it seems that each time that I start doing something in that field I immediately stop believing in it. And then I finally stop believing in life itself and other things and so on.
My relationship with dance turns around the following questions: what does dance say? what can I say with dance? what am I saying when I’m dancing?

I didn’t want to do this piece. Fortunately there was someone (Bruno Verbergt) who put a stage at my disposal and told me to do on it exactly whatever I needed to do. I did so. This piece evolved from all I just said.
