 Delicious Movement Workshop:
Intimacy and Proximity

Beijing, China

Next year she can remember Eiko was here.

I have always felt and said that distance is malleable and going to a place is a form of choreography and self-curation. And of course choreography involves improvisation within the contents and within the plan. And self-curation does not mean working alone. Self-curation often actually means co-curation with others one selects and decides/learns to trust. And this sums up my experience in China and being with Wen Hui.

Immediately after this workshop, both the workshop organizer and I learned about the severity of coronavirus infection in Wuhan. I so wish the days of proximity and intimacy in the classroom will be ours again, even if we have to wait for it patiently. Meanwhile we will move with the memories of physical connections.
