Why am I still choosing choreography..
Why am I still choosing choreography as my way of expression in art? I persist on the body as a medium through which I try to express myself. Not myself as an identity, but myself as someone setting questions upon what makes the identity profound. I believe that what makes an identity profound, is the performing body. I consider the performing body to be in an extremely exposed transitional state, thus I call it the “heroic body”. I don’t only want to show its vulnerability by exposing it, but most of all its coherence, its continuity through art, sociology, history, and mythology with the inner springs of existence. The action I have to fulfill by the process of choreography arises directly from the above.
That is why the choreography itself must maintain a constant process of revealing the heroic body. On the other hand the heroic body itself offers further possibilities upon which the choreography can build a unique language. These possibilities are provided by the basic structure of a body – its skeleton, muscles, figure in reaction to conditions, thoughts, emotions – leading to a body marked by an internal personal rhythm and the desire to narrate. That is why the use of any other language is insufficient.
It is almost impossible to clarify the dynamics of my movements by using words. In my work, form should be able to have different interpretations, based on the dynamics which assign to it. I am trying to give movement a form that will allow it to contain the ambivalence within a human body. Given that choreography is for me the only obligation of the self towards what is considered the self, the more I disfigure things, the more consistent I can be towards the tendencies of this encounter. My goal is to give these tendencies the human grace that characterizes them.

The body in the choreographic process..
The body in the choreographic process, trying to reach perfection, remains incomplete. A body in the process of transcending cannot be but a tragic body. Knowing that, I choose to praise it. This admission leads to (my) truth and informs the structural elements of my work. This admission is my only way in the process of achieving a subjective critical thought. The “only way” doesn’t correspond to limitation of choices but rather to the realization of the limit. I try to reach a point of consciousness in which my “system” (as creator and creation) can find itself in an arena of conflicts and possibilities.

Be a provocateur..
Be a provocateur, but only if you know that you are holding a “bomb” in your hands (heart), otherwise be silent and keep on working.
Let things be unfinished, but not unrefined, not without clarity, aim for perfection, you will fail but fail…better.
Surprise your self, invent games.
Be aware of the past in order to visualize the future (ANGELUS NOVUS).
Try not to copy, and if you do, try to change its meaning, transform it, make something new out of its debris.
Explore yourself, but (and) be aware of what is happening in the world.
Be honest, don’t cheat on yourself.
Make something beautiful, BE BRAVE.
