Peace
Peace is not boredom.
I've decided I'm going to let my father worry about money, since he wants to take that on. Of course, this is not completely possible, but I'll let my dad eat his heart out about it. I'll be fine, financially for the rest of the time I'm in Vancouver. Once I get to Toronto, who knows, but for now, I think I will be okay, if I live frugally.
We start rehearsals very soon, and that will be added to the rehearsals I've been doing for Ronya's piece. Yesterday we went into the studio together, and she gave me a bit of movement vocabulary, and she's just got no idea how fantastic a choreographer she is. Not only because she has huge amounts of material to provide, but also because she facilitates my own creative process. We did some improvisation yesterday, and I cam up with some stuff that I'm very happy about. And she just chose the stuff that she liked, and we kept it. We're going back into the studio after class today, if we can find space.
Also, some of my favourite people have expressed interest in working with me in Toronto, when I get back. And it's either physical theatre work, or dance that they want to do with me. Yes! This will be my work. I'm beginning to establish myself. I'm hoping to get some notice from Denise Fujiwara, and see if she would want to work with me on anything. The fact that Erika and she are working together, and that then she is going to direct our show - plus the butoh connection - it's only a matter of time, I hope.
Plus, my birthday is on Sunday, and someone (Ronya) is throwing me a party! The first I've ever had, that I didn't orgnise myself. AND!!! Yesterday, I tried to remember Ben's phone number, and I couldn't! He's almost gone!
Anyway, off to dance class. I love my life.
