Dancing in my bedroom
November 10th 2007 01:50
I still dance in my bedroom...
Laugh, sneer, jeer at me. I don't care. Dancing in my bedroom makes me feel like a child - free, imaginative, without bounds.
And I totally let it all hang out. I imagine myself to be a much better dancer than I really am, as I attempt graceful lunges or sexy hip-hop moves or towering pirouettes or belly dancing swirls. I do it all. Every style in every rhythm and groove, and I must say I have been doing it since I was a girl.
I always feel fresh after a prance about and it helps me realise my creative potential. Last night my session went from hip-hop, contemporary to moving yoga...yes I thought I'd put in a few yoga stretches to the beat of music! It wasn't just the moves I was making that revived me though. It was the thoughts that came into my head.
As I danced, I got this idea about a girl...a character...in her early twenties who is a symbol of the urban, online world she adores but she's also confused because she sees life as a stark reality compared to her friends who can't face truth...I started thinking about writing a three part play.
Sometimes I wonder what I really must look like dancing so freely, and you know what a part of me wants to be seen dancing this way. Should I put it on YouTube...hhhmmm...I thought about that. I'm just not sure how brave I am!
