Creating an installation myself
Doing an installation myself helped me to reflect on the process I go through when creating a dance piece. as I could recognize to go through the same phases in the creative process of making an installation than in making dance. Being busy with another medium gave me more distance to reflect on the different phases of my creative process.
First think different elements apart
Then have a visual idea how I would like it to look or imagine it to look
I am then confronted of having different choices how to answer
I find it difficult to decide for which answer to go and am indecisive and unsure and need another person to reflect it onto.
Then I feel like answering either extremely minimal or to incorporate everything
Finally I compose through what is there , already made or started off with and puzzle within the limitation of capacities and given time frame something together that I find most appropriate in that moment.
