The Living Centrifuge

Barbara quotation: "That's what's compelling about my performance - I'm efficient". She's on about efficiency of movement this week, which is a good thing to be on about. I've been thinking about efficiency, and I feel like I was "on about" efficiency about four years ago, before I started my training at York. Then everything got all busy and unnecessarily complex. The Miracle Worker was the last time I felt like I was working toward essence alone. I flipped a napkin and it meant everything. And now that it's in my mind, my friend Manon told me that I was hypnotising onstage, because my movement was so spare. I've yet to attain that level of efficiency again. Now is the time to re-start that work, I think.

In other news, my foot feels better dancing than walking down the street. This is funny. My body is transforming so that I will have to be a dancer for the rest of my life. This is a good thing.

I think that's all I have right now. Maybe I'll be having action with the Persian this week. And! The Christmas music listening blitz has begun ladies and gentlemen. Expect upcoming tales of way too much money spent on Christmas decorations.
