So they told me: in the old asian philosophy they believed the sky is round and the earth is square
Six days ago: Contemporary technique class: the body + architecture + mind...We create an "Asian" sky on the square floor: Who is Who? All their names sound the same for me at this moment. I can only remember the few who have adopted English names: Jessy and Tiger... In the circle lying down: after each dancer describes their breath aloud, they softly rock back and forth with head and limbs...their response to that experience: We never before were that close to each other. Nose to Nose. Ear to Ear. Mouth to Mouth. Hair to Hair. Shoulder to Shoulder. Knee to Knee. Toe to Toe.

On the square earth, they've never been that close to each other?
Does Chinese folk dance not involve any touching at all? Or do they mean that ear-to-ear or knee to knee is a strange form of physical interaction to them?
Did you ask them to demonstrate any of their traditional dance for you?
