The Deconstruction of Syzygy

I'm gonna start of by saying this. It was bullshit. From the beginning I knew, I would never be able to properly plan out a full rehearsal and each rehearsal consisted of pulling random movement out of my ass. But this word Syzygy. That's where the big picture ideas started coming together. Because yeah the movement is one part of the experience, and Demmel always said that the movement should be what shines through the piece. And basically what I did was give a big Fuck You to that idea. I wanted the lights, the sound, the formations (oops) to overwhelm the movement. I wanted to push this piece past art and make it an experience. And that's the reason I had a long period of time in my music without any dancers on stage. After the whole piece is about to be over you're left with a blank stage before two people come on to end the piece. Bc in that, there's a statement. People stayed captivated even when there were no dancers (if they weren't they would've started clapping) and in that, the statement stands that what they just watched was not an appreciation of movement, it's an appreciation of an opportunity to detach from the movement to take them to place of self-reflection, bewilderment, or any other trip they're willing to take. Syzygy means the alignment of three celestial bodies. But it also means any interaction of two things either alike or opposite. Since the outer layer of my dance was supposed to be the emotional backstage of a dancer, my three celestial bodies were the mind, heart, and body. And I always had groups of three. The first trio, the three groups of three, the two lines and single Kat, the three groups in the canons, Tori/Sami/Cori, but as the piece developed something happened. There was no longer trios. Ginger and Maryann performed a duet. Cameron and Ryshel duet. And that's where the idea of three is detached. And yes. There's the second definition. Cameron and Ryshel would always be somewhat opposing each other while Ginger and Maryann did exactly the same movement. But what this was more towards was what happens when one of the three doesn't seem to work. What happens to someone when their mind and body work, but their heart just can't muster up the passion (I know this isn't biologically correct but please understand this is just symbolism). What happens when a part of you is stuck inside a place where there's no space for growth. A space where there isn't a lot of room for movement, such as, I don't know, a downpool? See what I presented you with was three parts of the body stuck in their own world. And then I showed you the worlds they fall into. Jessica's realm was teeming with life, one that she could be free in doing whatever she wanted, falling in and out of unison whenever she wanted. Isabel's realm was a little more restrictive. The lighting only shined on the front 2/3 of the stage so that when she began her solo, she began in the dark. She began restricted, but eventually she found herself in the light and as an individual in a place where there was opposition on one side (Cam and Ryshel) and unification on the other. And then there's me. And I want to begin by saying that this isn't any sort of testimony to my mental health or the mental health of any of my dancers. This isn't a dear diary, it's just an idea that I wanted to get out and the only reason I gave myself the solo was because of a more practical reason that as the piece developed I didn't have enough time to fill that part in so I just gave miyoko and I time to solo. But anyways there's me. And in my world I have my own three. One that I follow, and two that simply watch me unfold... that's enough for today.

Hawaii: Chapter 2

The weight of your head was enough. C. Conniving individuals. Both had knives aimed at each other. Only difference was one swung knowing it would be a miss and the other swung hoping it would be a hit. And I thought it was way too cold. It's only chapter 2

Hawaii IV

I left it as is and after the charm I knew you wouldn't stay. You'd cast a spell of your own and it would've worked if I weren't in the way. Fuck free verse.

Hawaii: Chapter 3

Three Advil pills for the fun of it. I knew what it was and it wasn’t this. And I knew you would know it wasn’t either. I was just wondering if you would know what it was. I think you did.

Hawaii: The Epilogue

And in the moments that the city became a mime to the white foam of the kinetic waves, I could've sworn I saw you at the horizon, dressed in white and adorned with your perfect imperfections. You were my moon and I was your wave; every time I found myself gravitating towards you, I led myself to my own inevitable crashing. You found your place and left me wondering if I even had one.

me sometimes: i want a girlfriend

[chartreusecurtains]

[chartreusecurtains]

She smiled and all I could think was ‘Oh shit’.

[chartreusecurtains]

I just wanna fall asleep on a girl’s chest and have her run her fingers through my hair is that too much to ask

[chartreusecurtains]

It's funny because if you took every aspect of me that my friends knew about and combined them, that would still only be about 70 percent of who I am, maybe less. Idk why I wanted to share that.

I could quote this whole song

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I’ve known it from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong
