It is hard to begin to move when you don't know where you are moving, how to move, or if you are going to get there.
I move very slowly. It's usually material first. I sit with the material for a long time.
Sometimes you move publicly, sometimes privately. Sometimes quietly, sometimes at the top of your voice.
I think you can move to everything, but with some music, you just want to sit still. That's me, anyway.
Often I have to move my body in a certain way, like exercising, to begin to get into the right rhythm for writing a song.
I'll find places to grab as I walk and talk, sometimes even walking backwards because I have more control that way. People have no idea that I'm doing this.
During a transformation, it's understandable to be hesitant about moving too fast, especially at the outset.
I get even more nervous singing when everyone's fallen silent, but I really try to communicate the meaning of the lyrics, and there's people there listening to that, and if they're moved by it, then I'm moved as well.
Whether I'm doing a routine where I want to move people, or if I want to feel moved myself, I definitely tap into those moments where it's not just dancing or movement. It might just be a hand gesture or just a slow look, or even just the way you slightly tip your head forward. These subtleties speak volumes.
Either move or be moved.
