My piece Internal conflict deals with a personal matter from my childhood. First part : he and his mother are in a room. His mother avoids him somehow. She does not know how to keep contact with her son. She tries to feel or perceive what is happening with him but she is spinning on wheels. He also hides his heart more and more. Second part : he escapes his routine and goes to town to see others. There he sees kaleidoscopic changes, around him everything happens faster than he expected. He is trying to convince himself that he has no matter. He tries to step into the crowd…. Third part : he returns back home. While looking in a mirror, he sees himself. He is sick and tired of the outside world and… I wanted you to understand each detail. I thought this is very important.

This process began as a simple study of movement; a departure from previous works, which held strong conceptual underlying ideas which drove the structure, but often created barriers against the natural creative flow. It began perhaps also as a response to many recent pieces I have seen, full of philosophical themes and intellectual ideals which, upon viewing the works, seemed to go directly over my head. On sampling Allen Ginsberg’s ‘Howl’, I realised unconsciously that the words and rhythms of the beat poet were dictating the direction in which I would construct. And on completion, I realised that the ‘abstract’ piece I had set out to create, was anything but.

A world that would absolutely exceed our power of understanding, the capacity of our imagination and our emotions, as well as our responsibility Günther Anders, The Outdatedness of Humankind. What do we actually perceive or understand from our surroundings ? Do we really have a global perspective of the world we are living in ? These are some questions that I am dealing with for this work. Human beings are very complex creatures and quite complex as well is the organisation of human society. What role do I play or what do I accomplish within ? And when I try to face the globality of progress and technological evolution, how do I feel ? Feelings and emotions facing technology, introspection confronted to calculation or understanding an almost limitless world. That is the reality of humankind.

A second work by Ashley Wright created for the Royal Ballet of Flanders Choreographic Workshop in September 2010, explores the unexplored realms of the unconscious body and mind. The mystery of intuition, a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning. Its that undeniable little voice in the back of your mind, and whether or not you choose to listen to it.
Dancers: Eva Dewaele & Craig Davidson

He remains the infected blood advancing into my heart. I wish his tears will turn into the water, with which I will swallow his fears. If drinking will let me forget his solitude, I shall drown myself in an ocean of wine. I am afraid of him, I am dying of him. This night went so fast, that even the stars didn’t find time to shine. I will tell him on another day, that I am leaving him, because I Love him…

Starting from the idea of creating images from the 1940’s, with the emphasis on the contrast between two different parts of our world: how can, at the same moment, completely different atmospheres be present? With the eternal question: do we learn from our mistakes? Or are we stuck in a vicious circle?

- The Buddhist doctrine contains that life as we know it ultimately is or leads to suffering / uneasiness in one way or another.
- The suffering is caused by human desire, often expressed as a deluded clinging to a certain sense of existence, to selfhood, or to the things or phenomena that we consider the cause of happiness or unhappiness.
- Suffering ceases when desire ceases.
Buddhism says, difficult to control mental states are referred to as disturbing emotions. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony….these emotions hinder the society, burdening and constricting the essence of the individuals. By overcoming these negative feelings, peace within oneself can be found. These ideas have been worked into the choreography.
The principle of Buddhist teaching Nothing is permanent, was the inspiration for the piece Phenomena. The complex Philosophy created a movement language that uses the body within it’s natural extent.
