Press Release
In the great conflagration of logic and expression that is sometimes attributed to working in the studio, we recede into ourselves and reach for that which is completely constant. This is easy. Sometimes. Is there a more practical way to deal with an intangible issue than to call on the tangible and stable in the hopes it may freeze the quandary in place? The use of the word recede is not accidental, as we all sleep foetal sometimes. What might I rely on? I rely on skill, to do a thing, to solve a problem. I want to get better at dancing. I rely on my athleticism. I need a dancing partner. I rely on my friend. There is a give and take to reliance. Does this work when relying on one’s body? The transaction is in this case discipline, or ironically, practice. Practice is trust in a trenchcoat with a time machine, where we trust our past self to have to done the work to get us where we are, correctly. Conversely, anything we do now we could rely on later, somehow, anyhow. This is easy. Sometimes. The second part is harder, in the same way receding has a negative connotation. Why is that, because it’s a step closer to disappearance? I trust I won’t wither away. I rely on my body, and feel it fully extended.
