a dance in two parts.
first part:
invisible signals. telepathic communication. the radio waves of ships crossing the ocean, signaling to the land dwellers of their experience, their arrival. we are listening. the dancers are listening. tune in. we are responding, speaking too. we use a peripheral focus to acknowledge one another, to acknowledge these imminent signals.
this is a story of the inner world. we go into our private spaces and communicate to the beyond, to the beings out there. we are not for sale.
second part:
the performance has begun. the dancers rehearsed they're ready, the dance is given, it's taken, it is performed and alive alive. we are right here, right here in the room. in the warehouse. there is no stage, but presence on part of the performer brings existance up a notch. like that of the archtype, the rock star; the spot light makes it happen. the dance is the spotlight, the performer, the gaze, all in one. alive, we dance. here take it, it is for you. raydon.
special thanks aura & kalliope!!!
