Kristina Hanses aka KEJH - It's My Heart
|
Composer, Choreographer, and Performer - Kristina Hanses
Original music - Kristal and Jonny Boy Producer - Fede Dragogna Kristina Hanses (KEJH) is a singer, songwriter, choreographer, and dancer from Sweden. As part of InsightsDigital, Kristina shares a video performance excerpt of ‘It’s My Heart’, where she performs her choreography as a collaboration with an original song she co-wrote, also titled ‘It’s My Heart’. "It’s my heart is a piece about the importance of tuning into your heart. The choreography is inspired from the emotions I was carrying when I wrote the song and the feelings that were arising in me when I was dancing to the song. This piece is an improvisation that I became happy with and kept it as it came out." It’s My Heart This is not what I was planning But it is my heart I choose to cut I cannot feel mine beating I don't know longer who I am I cannot sort my feelings I thought I knew but I don't know at all This is a darker feeling I don’t know now what to do to heal And it’s my heart, not made to lie I loved you, you know And it's a heart, that hates to lose. I loved, I learned And this became what I could not imagine When I got weak, why did you leave me out? I started doubt my feelings You made me think, I do things wrong And it’s my heart, not made to lie I loved you, you know And it's a heart, that hates to lose I loved, I learned Accept love is fading out |

Ravel Wong - 〈Rebecca, Shirley, Jane〉
|
Director - Wong Ka Wai
Visual direct - Pos Dan Performer - Pos Dan Sound credits - Hiroshi Yoshimura ‘Wet Land’, Philip Glass ‘Colourbox’, Mort Garson ‘Plantasia’ “What is your name? I invite you to add your name to this title. then, Four names are running in a circle. It seems like forming the shape of a “full stop”. Names spinning, identities spinning, times spinning. After that, they become smaller and easier to melt into the darkness. Darkness helps to decompose. The kid is helpful for not understanding the darkness behind the dark. A mature kid helps to decompose the decomposition......” |
