Physical Calligraphy

Obscurity

This dance in which the body dives is both simple and complex. Simple to understand or feel, but too complex to be totally under control. Just like those of calligraphy, the building constraints of this movement are precise and rigorous, in order to reach or to evoke a fundamental harmony. In both disciplines, the repetition and the duration of the exercise imply an exhaustion of the gesture, an exhaustion of the performer so that he does not hinder too much what is to be written in movement. In both disciplines, there is a dialogue between the empty and the full, between the matter and the invisible.  Just as the line reveals an empty space on the surface, so the movement takes birth in the void that surrounds the body. Over time, these mechanical constraints have become a technique of its own, whose exercise reveals fundamental components of balance and rhythm, present in calligraphy as in dance: the coexistence of one thing and its opposite, the elusive nature of time... How omnipresent movement is, renewing itself ad infinitum, or how the same form can reflect different depths without ever being exhausted. So many things that point to a common mystery, hidden behind curves and volutes, behind rounded movements and interlacing.
