Jerwood Bank 2008 – Siobhan Davies Dance

Having completed the 2nd week of Bank, I now find myself in a place that requires a big jump into the dark. I am clearer in understanding what I need to do, or rather what I need to try and aviod doing from habit, to generate something ‘new’ out of myself and my process. The knowing is pretty clear – it’s the doing something about it that is proving quite a challenge.

I know it may seem like I’m pointing out the obvious (and to be honest I need to make it obvious for myself), but really going somewhere unknown is daunting. I do feel encouarged as I know I have made progress, but I need to go much further.

This week I realised that I crave reassurance from the outside. Why is it not enough that I, me, myself, my thoughts are not able to give value to my work? How can I adapt and implement another approach? Judge myself differently? Or maybe not judge at all?
