DAILY DANCE BLOG

December 2, 2020

7:12pm, E 2oth Street and Hargrove Street, Baltimore, MD

I haven't danced full out like this in what feels like a long time. Today has been exhaustive but I do feel good about where I am at with creative projects. So many thoughts swirling around in my head. That's to be expected. I knew at the beginning of the day that today's dance would be at night. That expectation helped me feel confident about site selection and perhaps made me feel purposeful in my dance pursuit. A productive 2 hours in my studio definitely didn't hurt. I took today off of yoga. Muscles are appreciative and still sore. I deny myself breaks in many forms because I want to be endlessly productive and I think I enjoy punishing myself. Stupid capitalism fucking with me, among other things. So far, December has brought a renewed energy for this work. The end is in sight. Will I sprint to the finish line? I have my final site already planned. One day at a time and soon enough, I'll be there. Day three hundred thirty-seven.
