Songs Without Words. I began making this work during the Covid 19 pandemic,the circumstances of which have prompted me to reconsider the limitations and possibilities of our world, and with that every level and aspect of my creative process. Of course limitations are to be prized in that they tend to focus effort and songs without words (sww) is limited to solos, defined in part by self-exploration and self-reflection, something that feels surprisingly new to me as I have made few solos for my own performance. Now it feels as if for the first time I am truly allowing a deep listening to the emerging dance, trusting self-direction, letting go, and exploring new terrain.
