dirac Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 An interview with Harrison Ball. Quote His days look and feel much different now. He logs six to seven hours at the computer, now a freelance choreographer focused on getting commissions. His mental space is different, too. “In a way, it feels like there’s more going on than before. Because before, and really just for the past year, the focus has been on getting through it, and the focus has been on the [final] performance. So it was like, even when you have time in the ballet world, you feel like you have no time because you have to reserve all your energy. And something that I’ve been really feeling is there’s like a void now, because I had this huge reserve for all the anxiety and all of the kind of intricacies of what it is to be a dancer in a big company,” he says. “I had to hold space for that energy. And now that I don’t have to hold that space anymore, I feel like I’ve lost my marbles. It’s really disorienting, but it’s pretty fresh. It’s a different kind of busy, and I find it actually feels pretty natural for me right now.” Link to comment
