Spaces in-between

The wait is the mass of our body in movement.

We can direct this mass, taking it out of the inertia of gravity and convert it in gesture and movement.

Pressure and support are two ways of direct our wait, only the intention makes them different.

Pressure is synonymous of action, of inertia, of decision…

The support is waiting, listening, maybe a memory.

Being clear when you take initiative, know how to follow the other without loosing presence, to stay suspended between doubts,  desires and silence…the musical alternation of bodies flowing in the spaces in-between.

We could say that this interval, this “not aware” place, this white zone is, in essence, what we are looking for in Contact Improvisation.
