I find this way of moving supremely special; highlighting the raw and uncut uniqueness found in us all; in the way we walk, the way we stand, the way we maneuver through life. I prefer this way of moving 巧妙的技术实力,提高线,形状和形式,我们的 bodies do naturally. The way I move naturally  is rhythmic, gestural,  full of drops and swings and shifts and always grounded into the earth. I start with that and see where the rest takes me.”
