In Center My Heart , the spirituality is in the structure, and how often the thing that causes a work to rest near our hearts is the glimpse into paradise it offers. The Elysian vision steps out of time - for in paradise it holds little meaning. The dance goes on and on and on. . . The fact that Ocean is 90 minutes is utterly arbitrary. The other quality of the Elysian vision is the idea of the group, and the specific place of the individual within it.
Couples remain couples, or leave each other briefly, only to return.
There are no divorces in paradise. My Heart takes this classical vision of Elysium and stands it on its ear. The sense of timelessness is still within the work, but the static nature of the group has been exchanged for complete polyamory. There are no set relationships that are returned to, the dancers react to each other almost as freely as molecules in suspension. One of the happiest visions I have of the concert is watching one dancer, then another break into a broad, honest grin as they encountered one another on stage.
