To me its the physical exertion of expression,
through movement and interpretation,
in a single experience.
To feel music
run through each limb in turn,
and visually present the rhythm channelled
(internally).
To hold on to an emotion,
and express it fully through the entire body,
and in an instant
let go of
everything.
The ability to choose how to manipulate the body physically
to portray an image or a feeling is, in itself, freeing and empowering.
This freedom is addictive,
and I can always feel it there,
beneath
each
step.
It's waiting for any opportunity to break free
from somewhere within.
It allows me to feel beautiful,
upset,
strong,
angry,
fragile,
content,
anything I want to feel.
It's a release of everyday emotions and energy,
a relief.
