Thoughts about GLAND…
Lets say that when the work is vivid in the mind, when it is still a spiritual condition, it exist as an Utopia
UTOPIA
The word comes from the Greek: οὐ (“not”) andτόπος (“place”) and means “no place”.
Yet we might say that this is a virtual place and since I can visualize it, it exists as such or it can be real when it will become a work for others to see. The moment utopia is materialized it is transformed into a place, therefore to a Land and since that is a land that ony I can imagine, it is a new place in the world. Lets call this place “Newtopia”
What would it be if all the above doesn’t exist in the sphere of the mind as a process but it is visual, mainly the work itself? What would it be if the transformation of Utopia to what I have named “Newtopia” is a not a virtual condition but a visual condition in which the body acts in order to transform utopia into a real place. Therefore the body itself can be named “Gland”( having in mind the function of the organ as such) because it becomes an active tool for this transformation.
Once we are in the space of Utopia means that the spirit is free to imagine a place which doesn’t exits, a body which doesn’t exist, a thing which doesn’t exist. Based on the above means that in the condition we want to create each “absence” needs to be presented.
As a conclusion I could say that “Gland” is the active force of a body which is consisted of glands acting inside a place that is called theatre, which is a body which includes Utopia, in which a body acts as a gland and transforms the “not yet place” into a new place for the existence. It feels as if Alice meets Fred Astaire and Spinoza in wonderland.

Speaking henceforth about my personal way of making artistic work, being sensitive to the pressures history, time and society exert, I start from the impetuous negative feeling of suffocation forcing me to shout. I try to articulate this scream, by restraining and forcing it to produce (create) a multiplicity of vibrations inside the body which will motivate it in a series of endless kinetic units which I call ‘dance units’. Thus I discover my personal language -insisting in its essential qualities, precision, acuteness and thrift – which is grounded in an uninterrupted process going from a personal need to an artistic end.

Dancing at the margins of Newtopia
How far can I go by dancing? How far can a dance take me? I like to think my self as a wanderer when I make a dance piece. I visualize a special place and each of my choreography becomes the “event generator” of wandering in those places. In June 2013 after having completed the “Oh! Deep Sea”-circle, I started to work on a new series of choreographies. I named this new circle “The marginal sculptures of Newtopia”. I felt that the margins and the sculptures were textures that could reflect the traces of my work so far. “Newtopia” is setting the place in which this traces could produce new creations. Lets say that when the work is vivid in the mind, when it is still a spiritual condition, it exists as an utopia. Yet we might also say that utopia is a virtual place and since I can visualize it, it exists as such or it can be real when it will become a work for others to see. The moment utopia is materialized it is transformed into a place, therefore to a land. Since that is a land that only I can imagine, it is a new place in the world. I call this place “Newtopia”. Imagine that it is not a virtual condition but a visual one in which the body acts in order to transform utopia into a real place. The body then is an active force inside a place that is called theatre, a space that includes utopia when a body transforms the “not yet place” into a new place for existence.
