+Full week of a new rhythm. Both of our kids are going to school in Brussels. It means a very different schedule for them and for us. Waking up at 6:30h to prepare breakfast and lunch for Faust kind of messes up the whole day. I'm not an early bird you could say. Such an early start makes me feel slow and lost. I guess after while i will get used to it.
+At FoAM mainly dealing with various rental requests. It looks like this autumn it will be a few longer events using our space. It is great. But i feel i have to put a limit on it as well, because it does consume lots of time and energy to menage it all. I still want to explore a few things my self.
+I bought a new photo camera. Well it is an old Nikon F4. I never had a device with so many buttons on it. Spending my days studying the manual and taking some shots. It is very exiting. Can't wait to see the results.

+This year i've been investing lots of time in making bread.We have the bread making machine but i find that the bread made that way gets old very quickly and always taste the same. I like the process of bread making a lot. Even i don't eat it so much of it my self i find it magic to experiment with different ways of mixing the dough and baking it.
+This week i found maybe the most favourite recipe so far. It is inspired by Scandinavian so called 'night bread":
+glasses of flour (i use spelt but any kind of white flour will do)
+glass of warm water
+tea spoon of salt
+spoon of brown sugar (i use honey in stead)
+tea spoons of dry yeast
+glass of mixture of seeds, nuts, raisins...
+Put it all ingredients in a large bowl. Mixed with the spoon until all the ingredients are blended well together ( dough should stay liquidy). Transfer the dough into the bread form ( lined with paper if it is a metal or ceramic one), close the top well with plastic foil and place it into the fridge over the night or at least for 8H. Remove the foil and bake it in non preheated oven at 150°c for about 1:30h.
+August-4 September
+Back to Belgium, back to home, back to FoAM, back to the routine of school work home. The intensity of the summer manifested in the new sort of physical pain. As i was very happy to be painless for a few weeks before i left on holiday, as much disappointed i felt now. Being absent for such a long time requires lots of attention to the things that i left "hanging". First of all i had to deal with Parkdesign. The very well received proposal didn't get followed up by the person responsible. She has send information about the practicalities and new demands so late in august that i had no choice than to cancel the whole thing. I think festivals like Parkdesign are great, but perhaps it should be clearly stated in their mission that they wish to work with starting artist that have lots of time on their hands and don't mind "improvised" organisation. On the other hand i felt relieved. Still not ready to do anything public.

 The abstract sound composer of the last century Varèse has ones said "...think of music as an arrangement of objects in space, and keep in mind how long it takes for any sound to travel through the hall." If i would paraphrase this sentence for dance and choreography it should sound something like this: Dance is an arrangement of metaphors in space that takes lots of time and invisible patterns for body to travel trough.
