I strongly believe that over-focus on moves blocks the creative spirit. When the discipline of success and failure is an everyday reality it leads to the limitation of creativity. It becomes easy to forget about the freedom outside of one's goals. Somehow, moves and their maintenance are still the common method in modern movement schools and the movement culture. Signing in to an authority who announces "what you can't do is what you become". AKA if you can't do this you can't continue further.
As an artist, I replace moves with vision. Practically speaking, with directions in space and their dynamics. This is why I like to practice and train trajectories. This concept ignites my imagination even through its dictionary definition: "the curved path of something that has been fired, hit or thrown into the air". Trajectories lead to a type of practice that strongly connects to personal expansion. It makes me ask "In which direction I want to move"? and "Do the things that I do lead to where I want to go"?
And then I begin the creative process; trying from here, trying from there, changing, shifting, twisting and rotating, until the vision and movement are in harmony through the trajectory.
What if the direction changes in the middle? I use suspension and I redirect again. The energy becomes fluid and moves through the form and not for the form. Because we are all different, some forms will fit more than others. Finding the ones that fit the most is one of the finest joys of the creative process. Trajectories are the mediation between the flight of my vision and the realistic possibilities available in each and every moment. And the more I visit them the more they naturally expand.
