Premier Performance, Expectations Full Filled

-
It was such a successful night. Thanks to everybody who came and joined us. What a beautiful feeling to share a work which has been in a development for a while. It has worth every second of all those intense moments and thoughts.

We have created two paintings during the performance. Space was full and we had to turn down some people. 

This project is a beginning of many others. It is going to be a platform for artists to share pure and honest experiences with audiences.

----------------
I am so excited and a bit nervous. I know how strong the images created during live performance. So strong, intense, sharp... To be honest unique... 
My anciety is not for the quality of the work, but we are going public... Everything we do, Joao, Mina and I is depending on our true honest emotional sharing and polylouge, creating new language during our non-verbal ex-change of dialogue.


Here is ArtReach's invitation to powerful live performance art project:

Journey of Unbelonging - Practice Session 1

Studio Session 1: with Mina Salama and Joao Simoe We started the session one hour late around 2.30 pm at The Creative Arts Development Space (CADS) in Sheffield on 9/01/10, Thursday. We can only actually, physically start the session around 4.30. It sounds easy to do, Mina is playing live music with his oud and ney flute, I will be dancing on the board and painting with my body movements, my feet are my brush. What we do is not the actualisation of structure, we have to feel and connect with each other and one hundred percent mindfully being together is what enables me to create the paintings and enables Mina to compose his music. There were long discussions on the story and journey and how to blend them together to make our individually personal stories visible to the audience. Different experiences in a structured but also free form style come together and become a separate personality in itself. It all resolved when I went for a half an hour walk as the director-curator

Driving Force Behind The Journey

For all I know is, how we move, how we walk, how we breathe, how we stand is who we are... Who we are is a collection of personal interpretations of experiences we collect into our physical and non-physical-selves. Our physical movements create three dimensional patterns in the ether,air. As I know, how we move is who we are,  it means we create patterns of who we are in that particular moment of space and time, because we are also in continuous change and growth.   Our environment and outside forces have influences and effects on our emotions & thoughts in that specific frame of time. One of the most effective of these forces is music.  Music travels in the ether in the form of sound waves, as we all know.

A Sense of Space with Herve Perez 1

2 weeks ago on Saturday, I did long and deep stretch. I felt my body wanted to do so. It felt good for my lower back and my groin area first until I went out for a run at the Mill House Park. I literally could manage to do half an hour jog and my right hip was in agony. It was the weirdness sensation in my inner leg and outer hip join. From the inside of my foot to off the knee, slightly inside towards back of the knee, there was this pain as if my muscles are being torn apart with each step. I had to walk back home under the rain gave me an insight on how the muscles are connected from my lower back to my foot. The first attempt to do some moves was last Wednesday on 26th November at the Bank Street Arts gallery with Herve and his alto sax. Although the week before Herve's reiki session eased my pain, my movements were restricted I dance and paint with my bare feet with live improvised music as one of my ongoing projects. Knowing I have limitations draws me back in at the
