The Love Is All Around Us. I

What I'm Really Interested In Is Freedom.

I Think The Human Species Is Very Suicidal.

You Know I Think So Many Of Us Live Outside Our Bodies. My Dream Is That People Will Find A Way Back Home, Into Their Bodies, To Connect With The Earth, To Connect With Each Other, To Connect With The Poor, To Connect With The Broken, To Connect With The Needy, To Connect With People Calling Out All Around Us, To Connect With The Beauty, Poetry, The Wildness.

Dancing Insists We Take Up Space, And Though It Has No Set Direction, We Go There Together. Dance Is Dangerous, Joyous, Sexual, Holy, Disruptive, And Contagious And It Breaks The Rules. It Can Happen Anywhere, At Anytime, With Anyone And Everyone, And It's Free. Dance Joins Us And Pushes Us To Go Further And That Is Why It's At The Center Of One Billion Rising.

I Think Culture Is Where Things Change In Us Deeply. But Right Now, I Think That People Are Very Traumatised. They Are Very Scared. Having Grown Up In A House With A Perpetrator Who Was Violent Every Day And Terrorising Every Day, I Feel Like That This Country Is Suddenly Very Much Like The House And The Family I Grew Up In. Every Day We Are Glued To Our Phones, Glued To Our Television; "what Is This Psychopath Going To Do Next? How Will He Embarrass Us? Who Will He Bully Or Hurt Or Humiliate Today? It's So Easy To Get Locked Into A Syndrome Where The Perpetrator Is Ruling Your Life.
