Macumba

Today there was Ingrid and the musicians.

We concentrated on masculine and feminine energies and the yin-yang dualities that interplay.

In one way, Icaro is a man, but he's very feminine in that he's sensitive and follows Raquel usually musically. Raquel is more masculine then. In this constellation, I felt like the child being called to the father or mother or the piano or the percussion.

I was shy, but i also forced myself to dance and express and work. At one point I allowed myself to get more playful with them by touching and playfully harrassing them as they play. I also sometimes just ignored them as people and just let myself enjoy dancing to their music, and this seemed like it always works well. Simple is the best, but how to make a show where it can sustain an audience''s attention more than just like at a concert.

Can I trust that all the research on topics like masculine and feminine and child will be revealed if I just dance to music openy? Do I need to make specific choreography to get themes and issues across?
