the joy that shapes dance

.

.

Sound and gesture are contemporary,

identical and indistinguishable...

Linked to its own past,

the gesture fills up with music

and becomes rounded,

like the universe...

The beauty of gesture

renders time visible.

~ Catherine David

.

Stillness,

 is the canvas 

against which movement 

can become beautiful.
