I’m working with my dear friend Callie Ritter on an improvisational duet we call ZeroSpace.  In its simplest form we explore the intimacy of closeness and distance between two bodies in space and two humans in relationship as honestly as we can.  In this last rehearsal I was struck by the intimacy generated by allowing for awkwardness.

I have choreographed many dance pieces in the past, as has Callie.  We have participated in dance art attempting to hide or sometimes even showcase awkwardness.  In this post I am driven to simply reveal our process as the art.  My hope is that in the rawness of it you and I might find greater resonance with each other.  Here again lies the tension between vulnerability and exhibitionism.
