How does an artist write when their primary expression is through dance and their body. 

One of the greatest challenges I’ve faced after graduation was the fact that I, as an artist would meet people whom I’ve never met before through language. All of the applications for residencies, for spaces to perform to reaching out people for a coffee everything was through writing before ever actually meeting the person behind the screen.
All my life I’ve danced and hence my primary communicaiton tool/technology/ expression has always been through tactility and through movements. Fueled by my neuro diversiency, it has always been easier to explain myself through shoulder-to-shoulder conversations, random beautiful words and grand gestures. I’ve often wondered if it has to do with my relationship to English as a second language but as I get older and live half of my life outside of where I was brought up in, I realized it has to do with the articulation and the academic English writings that I struggle with. It is not in my vocabulary to speak in those academic language. ( not necessarily to do with the content of these intelectual conversation, but often there is a judgement to what vocablurary you used to express your practice changes completely how seriously you are taken as a “serious” artist.) 

For this reasons, I embraced and welcomed ChatGPT. I believe it is part of my writing practice to ask for help from the AI who have learnt my linguistic pattern and understands the underlining many subtext of meanings that I often fail to include in my writing. I enjoy the process of thinking that accomodates when writing a prompt, ( which personally I already know the answer by going through the process of creating a prompt,), I learn my instictive grammer pattern that has become more european which creates a bittersweet feeling towards this land that I live now and most of all, I relearn what I wish to express through their specificity and articulation. It’s a joy to have this support next to me. 
Although I do aknwoledge its problematic sides, ( energy source, slow death of humane art including music and visual art, its effect to education) I still would not refuse its use.

Although, I want to dedicate this page to different collections of writing pieces that I hope to slowly accumilate. It is a hard practice for me that comes with waves of insecurities. But I’m hoping by practicing writing along side the highly pressured writings( applications) , perhaps one day this will be more easy and free, as I did and felt as a child writing fantasy novels. Or who knows, one day I’ll quit everything, runoff to a cottage to write a novel about being in love with Prince of sand who has PTSD.
