“The Things I Carry” was made despite my resistance at the time to making a solo for myself.
It was during the Migrant Bodies Project – an E.U.-sponsored choreographic project aimed at opening up a civic and artistic reflection on migrations and their cultural impact for European and Canadian societies.
I didn’t want to spend time alone in the studio, for all the usual existential dance/art reasons – self-loathing, loss of faith etc etc. But one evening, while my friend the Italian choreographer Alessandro Sciaronni was encouraging me, I said to him, “OK, I will make a solo if you agree to be in the room with me, if you agree to hold me. Because we can only know ourselves through our engagement with others”.
The work comes from my body in relation to things – people, geography, history, current news.
