Being the dance / Doing the dance

There was a real questioning about being or doing or making the dance. Questioning a dancer's choices, or my choices while 'making a dance'.

Being the dance is more about allowing yourself to listen and respond naturally to your partner's movement, becoming his/her dance without making it happen.

Doing a dance involves decision making and playfulness with a various palette of choices and directions.
I felt responsible for her choices, for where she goes next, for her energy level, frame,  for dimension, for the space within our making.

The notion of breathing was present throughout my making. As well as working through my senses. Listen. Accept. Respond. Honesty. React. Be.
