* making videos dancing in the bedroom

* life modelling

* dancing and thinking

* deep sea dancers/bec jensen

* learning how to work

* inspiration - films, books, perforance works, people, nature

* intelligence in different forms

* recognising what's already happening my body

* fail vids

* working, money and changing the world

* imagining doing other things - like becoming a doctor

* the trauma of ballet culture
