I was asked to make a comment on the classes of oriental dancing, offered by Mariam Prokou. ‎In the last four or five years – I have really lost count – I seek every year to take part in Mariam’s ‎class, at least once a week. One class-hour signifies getting in touch with senses, body, music, ‎colours, fabrics, smells, tastes; we are all asked to create in company. This is how I experience ‎femininity, as union, joint creation, surrender, flow. There was always something to take with me ‎and leave regenerated, as if cleansed. I badly need this encounter with femininity, it enriches me. ‎That’s why I am there!‎
