It's how the people perceive.
I think they perceive like a quite strong woman
where like, and she's dancer, she come from Brazil,
she was immigration, come from a poor situation,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But in another way, this can be very just boring
'cause it's a wall that someone put a wall
or put some, put me in a stage
or a step that I don't want, I don't want, no,
I don't want sometimes if, if have a lot of people have days
that I'm not in the mood.
I don't wanna be there, with my body
and have another day that I'm almost naked in the street.
So, but yes, the dancing improve a lot.
Your relation with your body with it
because it's, it is exactly the place that we have
to look your body with.
We just searching for your body, searching all the time.
I started dancing when I was a kid,
normally in the school more in the folk,
traditional groups in Brazil.
And after when I had the amputation, it's a time in my life
that I opened said, whoops, okay, maybe I need
to think about another things
because I think I, I was dreaming my whole life
to relationship with art.
I wanna be in touch with art. I love art.
When I started contemporary dance,
I felt this is what I looking for.
Okay, that's it.
It's the place that I really love so much to stay.
It's a place that I give so much of me of my time.
And is the reason that sometimes I don't know how to deal
with the personnel decisions
because I'm almost no have personal decisions to make
and I go to dance.
The dance change how I perceive my body as a female, so much
about beauty, about ugly, about neutrality of each person.
The dance is displaced.
That I think it would give us a space to try.
So I can spend just 50 minutes jumping to try
how jumping or also with the freedom, with the flow,
the flow is bringing another things,
the flow in your day life.
If you not prepared, sometimes you just discover, ah, okay,
one place that I didn't see before.
And I think the flow in the dance world is, bring something
that is, is just
appear without you
prepared to.
I have such a pleasure
to perform since specific place in the street,
in the concrete, in the real
I quite like the reality of the wood.
All these elements, real elements
affect your movement and affect your thoughts.
If we think about the environment, cultural environment,
socio and the space around, I think yes,
it's something that fascinates me
but is kind of hallucination.
Maybe
How I perceive my leg is I think is a very
practical and real.
It's no skin, but it's another kind of material.
It, it's fine. I like the options that she give me
to have my arms free and I can just walk in the street
and also explore another area
of movements in the dance world.
But after a while I just tired.
But I, I think I like the option that I have
in the composition of ballet.
I like this option in my personal life and
also in my job.
I like have these options that maybe the people don't have.
And sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's more hard.
It's, it's so fine.
I think what's help us to relation with our body,
it's see your body, look to our body.
Look, look, give time to discover your body
and how we can discover more of your body
because it's, it's a body that receive
I don't know, he's a is a home for this whole idea.
So we, we should look with a lot of love
and also touch another body because this is part
of how you discover your body.
I think you can touch your body,
you can touch yourself, you can feel
But when you, in relation with this space, you
discover another texture of your body,
and if you in relation with another person you discover.
I love like touch my crutch, touch your legs
or dunno, exploring in my job and outside
and touch my friends, hug my friends for a long time.
So, and now I think
when I joined dance have this, I was young, so,
but have all these things,
the people change clothes together in the studio.
And I think also have a relation with
what you think about your body is in a, in a
female world.
In a sexual world, in a social world. Like have many layers.
And I think I'm in this time in my life that I'm just,
I dunno, I'm just like, my body is my body.
It's here. I dunno, it's like a potato you can touch.
So you can just, and I'm nowhere!
