To a dancer each day is a new day. Driven by the creative frenzy to achieve perfection and tuning the body to its best possible levels, the journey of a dancer is a story of many highs and lows, failed efforts, triumphant performances where pain and joy intertwine inseparably. The journey unfolds into revelations every moment. The dancer seems to be acquiring his inspiration to carry forward from these many moments which are unavailable to someone who is not a part of the creative process. For him the inspiration and achievement reside together-inside, outside, sensory, invisible and visible all at the same time.
The tears, the bruises, the freedom, the pain and the glory all fill the pages of a dancer’s diary, and there is always something new to be added to these many experiences. In the many years of training,moving across the dance floor transformed from mere movements of the limbs to something moving within me. The transformation seems to happen most subtly when the dance slowly becomes inseparable from the dancer encompassing the many emotions and thoughts of his entire being. Then the dancer is no longer aiming to achieve anything yet he is ever-aspiring. His journey, never complete yet now whole and complete since he is equipped with all that he requires- His inner consciousness, his inner senses breathing fully now and his outer senses full in expressivity. Now he is ready to not only to create, but he consistently re-creates.
