Significant journal entry from the process

fall 2018

Ever since I was a young art-maker : music-maker : dance-maker, I was learning how to feel music in my body and understand it in a really significant and specific way. I internalize beats and it is second nature to me,something I learned while being five years old and playing the violin in the living room with my father, something I learned in a ballet studio with Jennifer when I was five years old. So it makes sense to me, and it is clear to me that it is my work, not only a part of it, but the skeleton for a larger whole.

Significant journal entry from the process

fall 2018

I am constantly thinking about the thing I am making and if it is working. I think it is okay for the music to be my frame because that is important to me and how I work.

I am constantly troubled by being unable to put my ideas out into my world in the studio

I keep having ideas right before I go to sleep at night and then I dream them away

Sometimes I don’t.

You might come up w/ a new idea and you’re gonna have to loose something

I REALLY DON’T LIKE THIS PART

Deb’s comments:

-Repetition

-Personal story/history as farmiliar story

Very well done Daisy. I wish I had seen this piece. Your rendering of the experience in words points to a power and craft in bring story forward in the body. How did she accomplish this as a choreographer/designer?
