The basis of dance is quite simple. It is an attempt to be true to the environment at each instance, and thereby to let the environment to manifest itself in the body as presence, physicality, and movement.
This requires at first two principle elements:
The first is to be able to sense the environment concretely. This requires certain reducing of noise coming from one’s own self, opening of oneself to the outside intensely, and giving up of one’s own want to express.
The second element is to be available to be moved by the environment. This calls for knowing one’s own body mechanism, strength, limit, center, etc. to be able to distinguish the subtle gradients of one’s presence between black and white in one’s nuances of properties such as texture, weight, density, and light/darkness, and lastly to be able to give up following movements that come from one’s own motivations and impulses.
By this basic attempt, Moeno Wakamatsu beleives one comes closer to the expression of true-self.
