Ever felt suffocated? Like the air around is zoomed out to emptyness. The distance between unconsciousness and state of awake being so minute. Every whisper is heightened, amplified and empowered. Every tiny vibration feels like a spastic inpulse. Boom, boom, boom boom.

I call this the dancer's awakened state of conception. It is an irony how the complete lack of direction in dance can lead to the best improvisation. I'll explain-improvisation is the art of creating dance from nothing put stimuli, weak ones at that. A dancer needs to be liberated physically and mucularity must be enriched inorder to lose all inhibitions and to dance. Improvisation dance is not aimed to be graceful or beautiful because it uses the most minimal, animalistic nature of the dancer to protray, commonly but not limited to, emotions. The surprise here is that the dancer often appears graceful nevertheless expecially in contemporary dance). This is no surprise as the best improvisers are the ones deeply rooted in technique, where everymove is so grounded in style, artistic believe and conviction. Such are the gifts of dancers. Movement, an intrinsic instinct of human, is most amplified to the state of beauty and power, grace and emotive strength by a dancer. The dancer lives his/her stories through the dance via her body, the physical encapsulation of her journey thus far. The body listens, reacts and dominates.
A dancer is a gift from God.

However, such rules of conception does not work in a club. However, I truely believe that a foundation in technical dance helps in the freeing up of the body in a club, achieving more varied movements.

The tradeoff is that a true dancer is constantly exhausted. This is plainly because every move is calculated. Every step taken has to be purposeful, well defined and powerfully executed.

Which is why I totally need to rest now.
