The work is called ‘DUET a Duet’ and we showed a first version of it at the Gravity&#38;Grace festival in Limerick in November 2010. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giorgioconvertito.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11981981&amp;post=179&amp;subd=giorgioconvertito&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It seems appropriate for me to express my thoughts and my feelings on this blog, that so much helped my creative process during my residency at Daghdha.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Something possibly entertaining&#8221; is a user-friendly, self-explanatory and straightforward piece of dance, some would even say axiomatic. It is dance made comprehensible to the ordinary person. It&#8217;s unfussy, unpretentious and uncomplicated, yet educational and illuminating. It will demystify and make fun of dance, at the same time revealing how uniquely remarkable it actually is. Plus <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giorgioconvertito.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11981981&amp;post=156&amp;subd=giorgioconvertito&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Daghdha we have recently initiated a series of conversations between the artists in residence. This week topic was the individual practice and how that practice translates to performance. In the traditional kind of dance education, skills and abilities are mainly acquired by means of repetition: tasks and maneuvers are repeated again and again until proficiency <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giorgioconvertito.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11981981&amp;post=140&amp;subd=giorgioconvertito&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s somehow more instinctive and less conceptual than the first one, stemming from a stream of consciousness instead.
