Back Karioki Waltzing
The meeting between the waltz pieces, which are so recognized, stylized and beautified, with my movement and conceptual world, was like wearing a fancy costume and trying to remain committed to myself. In this meeting I was less curious about having a historical or archival dialogue with the form, but rather to allow my instinctual artistic response to resonate through images and physicality. And yet I do feel that this has taken me through a speed ride to the past and back again, mixing in my psyche images of time, social structures and personal history.
