The dancing, shouldn’t be about the dancing person. When it is, and in most cases it is, then it’s only about this. About that specific person and their dancing.
For the dancing to be able to step out of that narrow place, it has to transcend the carrier. It must avoid falling into the personal and strive to position itself in a space where it is no longer tied to ‘this person doing this dancing’. No, that doesn’t mean ‘’abstract’. There isn’t such a thing as abstract dance, as there’s nothing more concrete than people, and dancing IS people.
In other words, the best dancing, is an act of channeling - presence, attention and consciousness, rather than (my) story-telling.
Also, what the dancing needs, is not to be looked at, or seen, or even understood. What it needs, is that the people watching it, believe it.
