'Capitalising the I' - an explainer for none dancers
Capitalising the I was written with a dance(r) audience in mind, this post is written for the ballet naive.
The post is probably actually more about my insecurities of leaving the 'nursery slopes', albeit nursery slopes that have included 5 Ballet Retreats and a contemporary dance project culminating in a performance (Gender Moves) ...
Basically the act of 'capitalising the I' is actually probably more symbolic than a definitive action. My current ballet diary includes pointe class, as said in All the small things I do get 'picked on' to go the head of the barre or to have a teaching point made using my weaker areas (thanks David for making me do 8 pose turns in front of everyone at December TBR) which does pay off...
it also seems to be quite a significant assertion of competence which is what makes it scary / significant
