Any chance this way of describing your experience was inspired by YouTube sensation Alexyss K Tylor? It seems nearly impossible to me that two people could independly come up with a phrase such as that.

Anywho, stumbled across your music on Pandora this afternoon and have been enjoying both it and your blog.

Tickled,

I completely relate to the disembodied sensation of one’s work being performed seemingly completely removed from oneself. As I have moved further away from performing my own choreography and instead entrusting it entirely to the bodies of others, this experience has become even more familiar. There is that moment of realization that in the moment of performance, I as the artist am not very distinct from any other audience member around me. The difference is the months of rehearsals, the inextricable intimacy with the work, a feeling further than disembodiment and more like re-embodiment. I sit and watch as movement that originated in my own body is translated into the bodies of others. It is both liberating and heart-breaking concurrently.

Thanks for sharing that experience and sparking these reflections.
