Clearing
8:48 p.m. A 10 minute warm-up and 2 minute dance in the study after a long day at the computer. I clear the space, close the door, and light a candle. Clearing space for movement to come. I move to move. To listen to what this body might have to say. Body finding lines, rotations, and sinuous extensions. It is a struggle to clear away the day’s concerns and find the focus to tune in. Alice is here with me, pacing and gnawing on random objects. A pencil, the fire extinguisher. She sits on the drawing. The night is cold and clear after a sparkling day, which I watched only from the window next to my desk.
