Listening before steering
I prepare a direction but do not fix the order. The response on the dance floor gives information about whether to build, push or make room.
Flourish
As a DJ I tell stories with music. I watch and listen to the dance floor, then choose tempo, tension and the next track. Not to make everyone feel the same, but to hold a shared experience.
Much of my life has been about finding a place to belong without losing myself. On the dance floor, connection can emerge without explanation or an imposed form. People move in their own ways while sharing the same space. For me, that is not proof of an idea, but another entry into the same question: how can difference remain without losing one another?
I prepare a direction but do not fix the order. The response on the dance floor gives information about whether to build, push or make room.
A set has a beginning, rising tension, quiet points and an ending. That makes a night feel like one story instead of a sequence of tracks.
Everyone moves differently. The rhythm need not erase that difference to connect the room for a while.
