“Being and creating with others. Conversing, debating... with words or with the body. Listening to what is going on near us or far from us, how this affects us as individuals, as a group, as a whole society... How it moves and transforms us.”

— Pierre Pontvianne, choreographer

Dance may have the privilege to be an art form where meaning and confusion can meet: a place to make sense, to feel the senses, to get the essence of our imagination. As I do with every creation, I am now going on some sort of adventure, without looking ahead, attentive to my intuitions.

Searching for what I am looking for, receptive to time – to present time. And then there is this title that is full and empty of meaning at the same time. This “je ne sais quoi” in the making...
…. a ligature.
