Once.

I made a solo and then I broke my hand.

Once.

I made a solo and couldn't dance it anymore.

Once.

I was sad when I wanted to shine, instead.

"Girl, you'd better stop weeping, take your ass into the studio, and check what is left in a broken body!"
I had worked on some material for a solo in 2013, but then, one week before the perfomance I broke my wrist and couldn’t perform. From part of that movement research, from the spatial idea, a new solo is born. The starting point of the research for this solo was the idea of a weakness, of something missing or some difficulty, and the process of dealing with it both physically and emotionally, the acceptance and the discomfort. I once read on the wall of a cafè in Stockholm: “most things look better when you put them in a circle”.
