what has to end so that you can continue?

Some of the more critical decisions I’ve had to make for my breaking was to stop doing traditional footwork and stop dancing to battle music. The way with which I had grown accustomed to holding my body and the speed at which I was doing it at was — to say the least — fucking me up beyond repair. How to represent a form when you can no longer participate in the elements that comprise its DNA? But more importantly, what has to end so that you can continue?

A Dance About Inertia.

離開 / leave open

Returning “Home” becomes an indicator of how far you’ve come and gone.

How simultaneously different and same you are, from & with where you originated, and who you originated with.

It’s easy to feel disconnected in difference and regressive in sameness.

But to be able to return home and find an environment that continues to foster my learning, my growth, my ability to absorb, to be open, to be able to still be inspired.

It feels rare, and for that I’m deeply grateful.

To those that make it so,

♥️
