»In 2007 I’ve started by looking at the video work based on Steve Paxton’s iconic 1986 “Goldberg Variations by J. S. Bach, played by Glen Gould, improvised by Steve Paxton”; first copying movement, then focusing on what I saw beyond the moment. Improvising Goldberg has become like a friend I Look forward to spending time with every day.”
