Shooting At Shadows... for real this time...

Today, my last performance before jetting to India, is set to be something insane...
I'm looking forward to it so much.

Last time (also the first time) I performed Shooting At Shadows was at the Laura St Festival last year.

Since then I've completed a year of Zen Zen Zo training, and if you've read my previous blogs, know that I've also just completed Stomping Ground 2013.

Butoh training has given me a whole different way to interpret this piece physically.
Entering the "shadow space" is a new ball game today.

5pm at Lost Movements - Coniston Lane, The Valley.

---------
You should see 
the depths of black.
How darkness
has its own
spark its
own ebbing glow of black.

I’ve seen you play in the light.
I’m not blind.
You avoid the dark like it was cursed,
too distracted by the stars,
yet we exist in the spaces in between,
the enormous spaces between suns.

Even planets cast a shadow.

Before jesus was split open even he was dark inside
or does your jesus glow in the dark?

The folds of the world
are where I’m going.

Stuck within the creases of nothingness.


You should see 
the depths of black.
How darkness
has its own 
spark its
own ebbing glow of black.
