Do we watch ourselves? Are we just biased to our actions.

Strength

What is it? Is it defined by the amount of muscle you have, the ability to be emotional stable during tough times? I have no clue. The only think I know is that, I need to find these strengths... Dance helps me find them...

Obstacles

Currently, I'm facing a lot in life. I have many circumstances and obstacles trying to stop me. I don't allow them to. Wether they be emotions, physical limitations, or actually humans. I may not be the most happy right now but I look forward to the future when I will be happy once more. Wether people don't have a comment or answer my questions as if I were incompetent , I will dance my way through all of this. It's funny because I thought going through what I am would have me on my knees looking for a breathe but it's not. I keep going and I won't stop. I won't stop being Abraham. Take me as I am or watch me become someone as I forget who you are.

Not all dance needs a deep rooted meaning or purpose. Simplicity is always beautiful...

Little Things

Once you start dancing a minimum of eight hours a day, the little time you spend NOT dancing is consumed by thoughts of dance. Example… I went out to dinner with my cousins one night and there was a brief moment when all four of us disengaged in personal conversation and began using our cellphones. I noticed this. The three seconds of silence became a four minute piece in my head… Inspiration is everywhere… Guess for me I shouldn’t look extensively for inspiration because everyday there are little sparks that create movement in my head.

Journal #1

The Following is a reaction to an exercise small phrase i completed.

Freewrite :

My body has different directions, fork in the road. multi dial compass. changes in the wind. A bust crossroad. Controlled chaos. distance. 

Myself through movement: 

I don't trust myself. I don't go for it because im scared of chaotic happenings. I live controlled in the sense that I'm scared of what people have to say. Very static.

Phrase

It's on the edge. Wanting to jump and reach for something you really want but one is too scared to reach for it. Looking back, waiting, but natural acting as if you are really strong and it doesn't effect you. Then, getting thrown into it, fighting against nature the whole way down, but finally embracing and indulging the feeling of the thrill.

Solitude

This weekend, I have been unusually alone. Stayed home, in my room, not because I'm sad, it just happened. Surprisingly the act of being alone and not having much to do forced my mind into thinking about choreography, dance, and new ideas. I laid in bed and met my music just play. My mind started to create movement, which I then allowed my body to follow. What I learned: Im someone who is inspired my others and I usually can create a flow of inspiration with other around, but I can also dig into past memories and being alone to help me choreograph. Solitude can mean being alone or being with yourself.
