reposer les pieds sur terre

apres une folle course ou le mois de juillet semble avoir ete si court que la retombee, post-festival est lente. encore emue par ces emotions contradictoires cette folie passagere, les passions du lateau, de la scene, de la rue, j'ai vecu un quotidien riche , varie, different chaque jour, en pleine cohesion avec l'artistique confronte chaque jour au regard d'un public selectif, hyper sollicite. j'ai aime cela, vraiment. au dela des la fatigue, des douleurs, des tensions, je retiens l'emerveillement quotidien de faire mon travail d;artiste avec une intensite hors norme, je me suis surpassee, comme une heroine, j;a vecu mon marathon et je suis lasse. les trois jours de transition a la peniche sont les bienvenus, pour le moment, j'ai besoin de repli avant d'affronter la route, les bilans, les tracas de tresorerie. je veux, pour l'instant garder le positif de cette belle aventure humaine, hors norme. j'ai kiffe avignon.j'en suis encore bouleversee.

lucys at mandala yogashala

Lucys au jardin

Ce soir, nous avons joué Lucy en duo, a l’entrée du mandala yogashala. Au bord de la rue.
Le maquillage a eu lieu dans ma chambre, nous avons marche enveloppées d’un drap fin de tissu. Le trajet est très court, le mandala est la maison voisine de ma chambre. Suffisant pour croiser quelques personnes dans la rue. Difficile de passer inaperçues couvertes d’argile…nous nous installons rapidement, une pause longue, presque immobiles, à attendre le public.cet instant d’avant spectacle a permis au mendiant que nous croisons tous les jours de voir un moment de danse, bien sur, il ne peut pas rentrer dans la cour du mandala…
Très vite quelques personnes arrivent. Même si le son est faible, Sandrine et moi sommes connectées. Nous nous rejoignons, pour finir ensemble.
J’ai aimé nos lucys, discrètes, concentrées, très intérieures. Tout était calme, peut-être est ce ce début, juste après la prière du muezzin qui a apporté cette douceur lente, s’harmonisant si bien aux lucys…

gaby in lucy

today i shot Gaby playing lucy, she was trying on the make up; for now, i have only the picture from my cell phone, after i took her camera and started with pictures then, record her as a movie; love to do that! it was easy like i was dancing with her, very passionating!
tellement innattendu d'aimer filmer ce corps en mouvement. firts time i felt like i was a moviemakerdancer.
quelle drole de sensation. je me sentais en accord avec la danse et la caméra.
i will publish a short part of it, in a studio.
i want to shoot her outside!

time is running, not me, running at work only

time is running, not me! i love the work on lucy with gaby, the choreographer from madagascar i invited for the festival next week.
this time, lucy will be a quatuor, outside.
eraly morning, i saved some time for practise and walk, end of the day, a very little for garden and 10 mn meditation, better than nothing

picture of edith and nelly that are perfiming the quatuor

about sunday

last sunday, i organize a short cut movie on lucy again, at the salt point, with, for a change, some mens: we called them lucien or luciano...
it was fun, ony problem that we have to go very quick because of the sun and also because the clay is going away too fast
i think i really should develop this process of lucy...

the card for wishes

finally, the wishes' card is like this!
for a few days, i feel agitate, i mean like grhhrhahggrhharrr
i have to push myself for thinking positive
so far, i am back to my morning practice and i maintain meditation ( a little in the morning, little more on afternoon)
i am still smoking!!!
for all of you, enjoy holidays

trio's lucy at the beach for school

yesterday we did our last performance of the year, at the beach for a school programme! it was nice atmosphere and very special for a last one! after i teached for the children! they loved the performance! we all get very tired from dancing in the sand! bodys are stiff today. my yoga in the morning was slow but i am happy because i did it!

early morning performance

this morning, we did perform, very early for show our work to the governement ( hoping to get more funding for next year) my back was so painfull that i took pills before going to work. my hips are like glue! i cant even do a sun salutation! but i dont know how, the performance went very well
i did lucy, edith did the little red dress and then we did maux-rouges with drean, costa and i.
the people from governement really like the work! for once!!! yes! i am very tired but very happy.
so we went all together( the team..) for a nice lunch in italian restaurant near by!
it was nice to have a good time after so much work for only 4 people!
i have so less time this year for aedm... i di lots of art but did not have time to picture it! i will publish more next week

aedm19, lucy X3

the last performance went well, even with my broken back

aedm16

i am trying to rest after the performance of lucy, yesterday. my back is still very bad injury and work on top of it was th worst thing to do. i feel like having no time at all. transition between postures are so painfull.
we performed 3 lucy and it was very nice feeling to do it alone and in the same time with others; we met on dance mat only 2 or 3 minutes before the end. it was strange and scarry for me to perform with a painfull back but i also learn trhought it.
need to find my roots. everuthing is too fast for me.
i did not draw for more than 2 days, impossible de bouger!
here is some pictures of the rehearsals, with no paints on the bodies( it takes 35 mn to paint all of us) and clothes on

preparing lucy

from tomorow i have to prepare myself for performing lucy, for the first time outside , in a public garden.
i need to be focus and ready.
since the begin of the week, i teach 2 or 3 classes a day, it is very challenging, all classes are different. i enjoy the process of this residency time
today, Sandrine ( one of the pregnant lucy- now she is not anymore pregnant...) came for her first class and i was teaching with the baby, she slept quickly, it was nice for everyone. the residency is very open, and quiet with quality work. and some happy faces, smiling, Edith ( the first pregnant lucy...) is so happy to dance, her babyboy is big now and she enjoy to be abble to be back to work...
but from tomorow, i will have to find time to run my lucy once!

busy

today two stages check in and performances. very busy, very tense

no time for choos to whom i will pass award!!! no time before sunday...

just stress time!

in between

toady i am in between. in between life . french, english, draw, collage, paint, glue.

i tried to paint outside, there was too much wind.

i felt like going out, meet new faces, but i didn't. stick to memories.stick to my fears.

stick to lonelyness.

thes island is becoming a suffer, need to step outside.

outside of me.of here.

just waiting for next step.

je me sens prise dans un engrenage, entre là et ailleurs. ici, je broie du noir face à mon propre désespoir.

je pensais sortir, voir de nouvelles têtes, ouvrir vers le dehors. mais j'ai fait corps avec mon chagrin.

j'ai voulu peindre dehors, il y avait trop de vent. retour dedans.

j'ai fabriqué des marques pages de voyage, premier pas vers le prochain périple.

 il faut que je pense à l'errance créative d'une aventure intérieure tournée vers l'extérieur.

bouger! être ailleurs pousse à la rencontre ,à l'encontre des souvenirs.

agir.

mettre en marche l'itinérance de lucy... en mode survie

around lucy

this short cut movie is a part of my work, enjoy

i publish this short movie in the beginning of blogging, felt like publish again
