In the tradition of Finnish storytelling the teller repeats each word until they fall in their right place and are charged with content I’d like to think that with the practice of writing and dancing I practice the saturation of potential(it)y writing about dance and dancing about writing is for me an attempt to bridge the communication between the body and the mind are instable in the(ir) nature of writing is to go against the entropy of thought for to momentarily allow words to exist in form and colour is perverse but contains tremendous power.
