I performed in the Community Project of the Collective at the Baltimore Museum of Art. At the beginning I am lying on the stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3f4WgnAZJA

I developed as a performer by participating in the filming during Dance for the Camera 2010 at MediaNet, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in the individual segment entitled “James” and in the class segment entitled “Connie” in Process by Sachiko Hiyashi (https://vimeo.com/91202314)

A man dreams of a woman. She appears and runs away. He chases her. They dance together.
The film represents the creative process of an artist and his art.
The artist is dreaming of creating art. He is ardently imagining his muse. He vividly dreams of her. She flees away. He chases her to catch her. They then enjoy each other's company.
In the end he realizes that he merely experienced a lifelike dream. The hope to attain his muse in real life stimulates him to continue the process of creating art. The artist is happy to have the imagination of his love of his muse. He continues the process of creating art with the hope that he will meet his muse along the way.

-A faun, a mythological creature who is part man and part horse or goat, is sleeping under a tree in the hot summer sun in Sicily. He is dreaming about nymphs, the beautiful mythological maidens who inhabit and nourish rivers, forests, and mountains. He is cutting reeds for a reed pipe to play for the nymphs. He sees undulations in the water of a lake. Nymphs appear from the water. They run away when he plays his pipes. He speaks, 'Farewell. Farewell. I shall see the shadow you became. Did I love a dream?'

He sees a nymph who runs away. He runs after her. When he reaches her, they dance together. She then runs away. He enjoys thinking about her. She was a dream. He hopes to attain her in the future. He whispers, 'Farewell. I shall see the shadow you became. Did I love a dream? Did I love a dream?'

The narrative is an allegory about the creative process. The film is actually a representation of art and the artist. The reverie about a nymph and making and playing a flute to attract her is an expression of the creative act.

Although he is unfulfilled in his quest to attain the nymph, the faun is invigorated by the dream of her to continue in his quest for her. He is happy with the dream of his muse. He can imagine what joy he will experience when he attains her in real life.
