We live in between the need to always be with oneself and the need to always be in the world. "I am going to (re)know you and then I am going to (re)know myself." In this space between oneself and the world, a space to play opens up, at the origin of expression.

 

In our gaze upon the world, there are attractions, small pauses where perception settles and opens to a poetic space.
A place of repose – where one dwells and savors – and of movement – carried by a desire to create.
Memory meets the present, and imagination deepens the connections, bringing forth meaning.

Practice immerses itself in an organic flow from body to voice, weaving connections between its resources and otherness, from which new forms emerge.

​

The Body and the Voice

• Vocal resonators, breathing, the textures of the voice.

• Listening to impressions, sensing sensations.

• Presence, memory, and passage: a support and a receptacle.

• Singing evokes, implores, gathers. It enchants the relationship between need, contact, and expression.

• Traveling through the resources of one’s imaginary home.

 

Regarder - to look
Garder as to Keep, within oneself.
Garder as to Watch over, to be vigilant.
Regarder as to Care for, to vigil (from Old French).

​

Where does my attention – my attraction – go?
We can only think about one thing at a time.
Alternately focus on inner understanding and openness to the world.
Vary the focus: from the small to the immense, from movement to rest, from sensation to sound.

​

Art is a movement of becoming.
Becoming escapes the constraints of having to know before acting or producing a result.
Attraction carries the momentum of creation. Becoming carries its aspiration.
