Last Night I Dreamed I was Dancing on the Moon

You know when you have a dream that is so real you wake up and can't accept reality?
I dreamed I was dancing on the moon and now I can't get that concept out of my head.


I was weightless yet free, engulfed by the dark blue sky.
I was surrounded by stars and my body was illuminated by the ground below.



Perhaps one day it will happen. Or perhaps I know now what my next piece will be about.



What are some words that come to mind when you think of dancing on the moon?
(This is part of the choreographic process so you might just help me create a masterpiece!)


These photos of me were taken by a fellow dancer at Laban.

These photos are so beautiful. I know this is crazy but it is motivating me to go do yoga... I think I need to stretch my spine! Happy Friday, Beautiful. xo

I had one of those so-real dreams a couple years ago. Except that I had dreamed that my oldest younger brother had died. It was really sort of terrible to wake up like that. Like, really, really terrible.

Thankfully, I haven't had one in awhile. My so-real dreams always seem to be bad news.

My words are silver, shadow, soft and luminous.

i like the idea the the earth is on the background sort of in the way we see the moon over here... have a great weekend full of british adventures!

i think of being suspended in air when doing jumps or leaps, or even just a pulling, the anti gravity of the moon pulling out and up.
these picftures are so pretty. your a lovely dancer. i would LOVE to see you in action :)

Melissa Blake said...

Katie said...

Dancing on the moon makes me think of lightness, flying across the sky, and oddly enough (or maybe not), a sense of isolation that's both freeing and a bit lonely. gosh this is a gorgeous post!

Natalie Nicole said...

When you were waking up, did you feel a part of you trying to hold onto the dream to make it last? Those are the best.
Footsteps come to mind, because they always remain there.

beautiful photos, you are so graceful!

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

You totally need to choreograph a piece with this dream as your inspiration. I just imagine there would be a lot of jumps, beautiful music, and slow movements.

Mia Helen said...

What a beautiful dream! Absolutely inspiring!

Regan said...

I imagine being on the moon would be full of those weird moments when your stomach rises up and does a backflip, like when you go over a bump in a car or over the top of a roller coaster. Or like having a helium balloon where your diaphragm should be. This seems like a really cool idea for a piece; I hope it works out.
I really like your blog! Hope you don't mind if I stick around! :)

Kristin said...

I'm sure you're on your way to a masterpiece!

JRuud said...

Your blog is amazing and I would love to see you dance! Brilliant.

SabinePsynopsis said...

What an inspiring dream, and the photos of you dancing are beautiful! Weightlessness - definitely. Silence. Cold, always comes to mind.

Blue said...

I'm just trying to imagine a dance with as little gravity as there is on the moon. How beautiful that would look... (or not, if clumsy Blue were the one dancing...)
