CHANGING THE HABIT OF BEING MYSELF  

Life is a never ending work in progress. Just when you think you're in a smooth flow, someone or something disrupts your path and it is up to you to bounce back. How we coope with these interuptions impacts our flow. Do you dodge, hide or jump over hurdles? Do you embrace them or do they leave a big impact? Do you want life to go back just to the way it was, or do we let it inspire us into new paths? Everybody has their own way of being resilient and returning to their flow. Their own habit of being themselves.

In her new choreography, choreographer Liat Waysbort draws inspiration from the book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza. This book delves into the connection between mind and matter. Liat brings the tools and ideas in this book to life on stage and seeks to capture the moment of change. Step by step, she takes us through the process of creation versus survival and invites dancers and spectators alike to apply the insights from the book and make real, measurable changes in our lives.

Changing the habit of being myself was commissioned by Korzo Theater in the frame of Get Moving. This Young Talent program matches young people between the ages of 15 and 25 to professional choreographers. The duo Lara & Aviva were invited as well. With the theme Bodies of Work, both Liat and Lara & Eva searched with their dancers for answers how body and mind relate. 

The work was presented on Friday the 7th, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of June in Korzo Theatre, The Hague.
