I am watching the camera watching me. It becomes a wierd voyeuristic experience. I decide it isn't what I want to share with the world. I hold the camera but I don't look at it, I guess what it can see. With one hand I move the camera and with the rest of me I dance, sometimes all of me dances. I don't find out what I am making until I get home and download the videos. Then I see some things--too many things. I use the editing tools to try to find the moments I need, to make sense. I separate the sound and the colours, I filter out almost everything. But still I have too much and I leave the bewildering task. Or should I say "de wild ering?" My dance is waiting for me inside a wilderness.
