I want to review the meaning of "taking my time" through life, space, and movement..

I haven't mastered critical thinking but for some reason, I fathom the infinite possibilities of time..

Before I started creating physical movement for my solo I wanted to reminisce on my previous thoughts from past sessions within my journal. Right now I have been pondering over the quotes from Ulysses Dove, Camille A Brown, and William Forsythe. Lately, I've been paying attention to how their pieces were created structurally. I don't want to have a detailed base as far as starting my solo but, I want clarity. I love clarity even if it doesn't necessarily go toward my plans, I want clarity of my "why" to stand out clearly.

As I said during my questioning, I believe what I want to generate isn't my story. Nevertheless, I can relate it to my life but it is not my experience.

I want to pay attention to the stereotype that are placed upon men.. generally all men.. no specific type because either way I believe all men have similar experiences but different stories.
