Everyone is telling me I need to blog. It is what "everyone is doing now". So here it is, I'm blogging, I'm out there.
My first question - do dancers blog? Are you out there?
Before studying dance in University I thought that dancers, well, danced. Apparently I was wrong. Upon arrival into a large, daunting, formal dance program of the academic type, I quickly discovered that many dancers don't dance - they mostly talk about it.
After four years (that actually turned into about 6, but that is an entirely different story) I can confidently say that I have spent as much time as I want to spend discussing the question "What is dance?". I have given up and come to terms with the fact that the concept of dance is fluid - it is what we make it. If you create something and you call it dance, then so be it.
So this is not an argument on what is or isn't dance - I much rather discuss what can it be?
