“With clarity of rhythmic structure, grace forms a duality. Together they have a relation like that of body and soul. Clarity is cold, mathmatical, inhuman, but basic and earthy. Grace is warm, incalculable, human, opposed to clarity, and like the air. Grace is not here used to mean prettiness; it is used to mean the play with and against the clarity of the rhythmic structure. The two are always present together in the best works of the time arts, endlessly, and life-givingly, opposed to each other.” – John Cage Silence- lectures & writings

More unknowns…but ones I know I don’t know. I am following a 2-week workshop with the founder of Action Theater, Ruth Zaporah. It’s intense, she’s very inspiring, and if I can teach like that when I’m her age I’ll be very happy!

I’m working on unknown unknowns in Kortrijk and finding myself again at the moonwalking bear, though of course now it’s a known known, for me. There are many unknowns in my bio research of infrasound on myself, lots of theories and knowledge from others on the internet, sometimes conflicting. Then there are all the layers of known and unknown in Synechdoche, New York. I don’t think I have ever seen a movie with that much attention to detail. Cool…especially the line about knowing that you don’t know is the first step to knowing. Yeah, I know.

I’m so young by Papergirl and a couple of Shane Koyczan gems: This is my voice &  Grandma’s got it goin’ on.

“… as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” – Donald H. Rumsfeld ( US Secretary of Defense)

I’m off to look for the unknown in August at Buda Kunstencentrum in Kortrijk. The continuing story of “Below 20”.

SoloConversations invested in a business-oriented promotional video recently. Have a peek at the You Tube version.

After so much fun in Summer Studios with Solo Conversations I wanted to share some pictures! Now I am back into preparation for the coming year- teaching Berlin, Vienna & New Zealand as well as the regular Belgium gigs. First up is Leuven next week for Wisper…Get Down & Get UP!
