The Sonic Body

Many times in my workshops we dance without music. Once, I have performed on stage without music, because...

The body has its own sonority. Or rather, its sonorities. Or better yet, the body is nothing but a constellation of voices, cadences, harmonics—and noises: crystalline or metallic, earthly or celestial, recognizable or strange.

Why then add other music? To dance to music that does not arise from the body can distract it from its own sound—unless that external music serves to stimulate its sensations and provoke new images in the soul.
