KC: Briefly describe your Rhubarb Piece
DL: My piece is an investigation between words, movement and my relationship with beginnings. I picked poems that speak of the movement I feel within my pregnant body and music that have a connection with my relationship with my mother, my grandmother and my dad. I believe that beginnings are also ends to something else (or the other way around).
KC: As a first time performer at Rhubarb What are your fears?
DL: To be honest, I´m always afraid of disappointing the people that hire me or the audience that comes to see me. I guess I´m often afraid of not expressing my ideas.
KC: How is your ‘new body’ influencing your Rhubarb piece?
DL: A lot! The idea is the same but the movement and overall piece has changed as my body and hormones change. I´ve decided to keep it simple and poetic so that there can be some flexibility with my movement and erratic emotional input.
KC: How did you hear about Rhubarb and what made you submit a proposal to them?
DL: I moved to Ontario 3 years ago and have been hearing about it since then. Last year, some friends from Vancouver performed in it and told me about the interesting performances and supportive crew that surrounded them. This made me excited about writing a proposal.
KC: As a first time performer at Rhubarb what are your expectations?
DL: I hope to meet other performers to learn from and to keep those connections for the future.
