Process is a lovely creature and must be given freedom to explore.
Today my first challenge approached me while choreographing my dance language to Hossam Ramzy's version of Enta Omri. While dancing and envisioning the calligraphic characters, my body only wanted to do footwork and no other movement. I had forgotten the world of foot work when I "completed" my "alphabet!" (How silly!) I thought I was good-to-go to arrange the choreography - plus I was under the impression that because I must give the dancer the freedom of their personality, arms and feet placement would be to their discretion - so no foot work needed. But to my happy surprise, I discovered a new character just calling to be conjured!
So what would signify foot work in place? No traveling. I already have travel characters... And what if later I need to add a move on top of that footwork? What would it look like?
Here's the outcome after a few trials....

Process is a lovely creature and must be given freedom to explore. Just because one thinks they have something fortified, there will always be something else knocking at the door. Be curious and take a peak. Let it flow and be natural. As creative minds, these types of challenges should be welcomed and worked with.
