Dance is truly an infinite body

Dance is such a beautiful thing. It keeps revealing parts of myself and myself in relation to the world-- back and forth. It is limitless…endless…very exciting and a little comforting, because I don’t have to worry that I am going to use it up. It’s always always there, as long as I show up.

--Sondra Loring, dance artist and co-curator, with K. J. Holmes, of Movement Research Festival Fall 2011
(from an interview with Loring and Holmes, conducted by Christine Jowers, on The Dance Enthusiast. Click here)

you guys...

a poem for Movement Research
and Raïna von Waldenburg

you guys...

this is not an introduction this is the piece

and a perfect moment it is too

here we are
trying to be in a mystery

the main thing:
to be in the friggin' room with you guys

in the joy

in the wild wind

losing voice
mind
wing
religion
measurement
experiment
shape
senses
time

in the mystery that invites us in
and swallows us whole

you guys
everything in motion
in these days
atomizing
and available

do
do
that hoodoo
that you
do
so well
