Day 1/11
It’s all relative.
Here it starts. My eleven days of creating a new little piece from idea to stage. Last year I created ”Mind full of flies I never killed” during my eleven days. I found it very fun, exiting, scary and pleasurable – so I got inspired to put myself out there again for this years Made in 11 Days.
This year though is a bit special. Due to different circumstances (such as life) and possibly too much trust in myself I decided to really throw myself and the rest of the team in to the deep end of the pool: I am going to create the whole piece alone, beforehand, and then by text/letters communicate it to the rest of the team. When the team starts working on this creation I will not be there to guide them. They have only my letters to rely on.
Staying true to the rules of Made in 11 Days I really haven’t started planning what to do. A few things I do know:
- I am communicating this choreography by letters to the rest of the team
- I want to continue working with the same principles/themes for the dancers as last year
- I want to create a duet
- I feel the need to work with jumps (I have no idea why this is – yet).
Now I need to start working.
