I look at the world through the prism of the choreographic process, rather than at the choreographic process threough the prism of the world.
I don’t make work in order to comment about the world, I make work in order to understand the world.
An art work which emerges from the need to comment about the state of the world, would be better off reduced to an article in the opinions section in a daily newspaper. Or a political party.
Also, the easiest way to know if a work is based upon an internal or rather external perspective, is to examin the connectivity between the performers. The more they are separated between each other, the more the work is busy with looking outside and commenting about what it perceives. The more they seem connected, the more the work is the result of its own processes and substances.
What’s interesting to note is, that eventually, the later option gives us so much more in terms of addressing the world, its state and our place in it.
