Hold Me Touch Me Love Me | Sorah Yang Choreography

"Sometimes our desire to be impressive is our greatest barrier to being a blessing."


I was in one of those stressful choreo ruts when I had to make a new piece for this workshop, and because time was ticking I decided to change my approach to creating. I decided to try to keep the movement as raw as possible - meaning as close to my freestyle movement as possible, which sometimes looks totally different than what I choreograph (especially when I choreo for stage). After I made it, I just kept everything at version 1 and trusted my natural movement rather than trying to make moves more defined or complicated.

My message in keeping this piece imperfect and simple was to not be afraid of showing your raw movement, which is often what's underneath the choreography that people present to the world. You don't have to layer it with frills for it to be worthy; you don't have to do "the most" to be amazing. I have always felt like SIMPLE THINGS done EXTREMELY WELL are what build a strong dancer. Movement quality has always been my main focus as a student when I take class and train.

I am also super shy about freestyling in public so I decided to challenge myself to leave the end of the piece open to freestyle. Always trying to push myself as much as I try to push my students!

I hope this encourages you to show more of who you are as well. :) Next time YOU'RE in a creative rut, remember: there will always be someone better than you -- but there will also always ever only be one YOU. When someone else shines, it doesn't ever take away from what makes you special. That's like saying shabu shabu is less good just because boba is really good. that's ridiculous. they're both freaking delicious.
