from the program, Soft Freedoms
it is, it is for me but not in the way you have said
It took a while to understand
the path is just different for some of us
a continuum, of practice, study
it does not land, rarely arrives
but, i desire still
fully accepting of this hovering
it is here — where we meet, how we meet
how we negotiate our complexity

thank you for those who made it. It was an amazing journey to collaborating with amazing movers. I was so moved by Val and Chit’s vision and bringing many artistry on stage. This was tremendous experience for me as a mover, and proud and humbling to be a part of.
Thank you, Val. Thank you, Chit.
