Dancewrite

It’s not that I’m not writing, I’m just not writing the regular stuff of wispy wind and riverwater. Choreography, or dancewrite, a record and means of remembrance, has consumed my hours and thoughts. I don’t know if you would understand it but when it's loose and under construction and open to improvisation it looks like this--

maya choo choo

arms slow lift & fall, pause with both up

melody

rock back step, spin, shoulder shimmy

cross push maya to Lt,

undulate in place

then to Rt

triplet around in figure 8
