Doina-Cycle "Blue"

I have called my dance videos "Doinas". For one, a Doina is a Romanian musical tune; and then, my mother's first name was Doina. So by calling my "danced self-portraits" Doinas, I want to honour my heritage. I want my heritage to come alive, permeate and radiate through and in me, my art, my life.
Each cycle of Doinas has a title, which is something like a point of reference. Apart from that point of reference, each cycle documents a certain time of my life, like an artistic diary.
The movement is improvised, I work with whatever is at hand there and then ("costume", musk/sound etc), and all Doinas are done in the same space.
