The principles of dance are time, space and energy. In my solo improvisational dance performances, I concentrate on energy and the feelings generated from movement within my body. These feelings surface as emotions when I become aware of them.
All performance works on the idea of emotional contagion - the energy sent between performer and audience riding on waves of feelings generated within all bodies present. When audience and dancer work together to bring these feelings to consciousness, then emotions are shared on a very deep level. This “transference” loop is what I depend upon to realize my dance.
