It doesn't work, when you're thinking, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work, when you're thinking, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work, when you're thinking, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
So, when you think, I'm a dancer, that's, no, you want to be a poet.
So that you're taking people into ideas, not steps.
Does that make sense?
And guess what?
You don't need much technique to do that.
You don't!
You just have to live the idea.
But some of you are afraid.
You get it?
And so you think and you pose.
And honey, there's nothing more boring.
It's a whole other world.
That's the world of phoniness, glamour, magazines that have eased us, right?
And so in dancing, we want to see the truth, love it or not.
And so what you admire in human beings, are the things you admire in human beings?
Yes or no?
And there's things that you don't like, right?
And we also have those things inside of us, right?
And so we want to see.
We want to see what are you saying?
What are you living?
What are you experiencing?
Not pictures.
What's that going to do for me?
What's that going to do for me?
What's that going to do for me?
What's that going to do for me?
What's that going to do for me?
What's that going to do for me?
What's that going to do for me?
I think it's a very special gift to have the opportunity to work with artists from different...
to work with dancers or other artists from different cultures.
Because the body for me is like a ship, except it's a ship that is like a voyager.
It travels around different islands, so it's collecting goods.
And in a sense, for me this ship, this opportunity to be able to collect experiences from different cultures
through the medium of the body is fascinating.
The body is political, the body is religious, the body is specific in its identity.
So when you have these different identities and their history,
it allows me to kind of tell the same story through different people's eyes,
and through different cultures, through different...
that relationship, that kind of dialogue I've always been fascinated by.
I think the essence of what I create lies in the need to tell human stories.
Dance can be anything, waving goodbye or raising your fist in the air, but you only make a difference when you find your own secret language.
