'she is here'
The first time I looked into Francisco's eyes was on this dance floor. Here, we also danced together for the first time and danced together for 2 months during 9-week focused jam organized by Towards - Centre for the practice and research of Contact Improvisation.
This is our last meeting in this space. Between the first and last dance, we met many times. From our meetings, I remembered many beautiful moments and words from Francisco, including: 'the voice is a dancer's hidden weapon' or 'you can fly, fight, freeze - or dance with it.'
When we greeted each other, our greeting was a question: 'do you see her?' - a reminder of the beauty that always surrounds us and an invitation to direct our attention to it. Simple and beautiful.
This video is a reminder.
Thank you, Fran, for being my reminder.
