Stop! I will never...

Just like sand slipping from a hand, the dancer sorts through memories in her diary. Piece is inspired by lines from an old journal of mine.

Explores the idea of entanglement; getting entangled in the hollowness of oneself.

Created in The Netherlands in 2011, at Dansateliers Production House.
