Now-here man is a solo that is born from the desire to dance based on songs that, for some reason I cannot explain, evoke memories, awaken emotions or stimulate my brain and my body. Songs that make me laugh, cry, think, feel moved... Songs, many of them well-known and that, by themselves already transmit emotion. With now-here man I attempt, during the minutes that each song lasts, to unite and move those who listen to them while they observe my body existing in movement. It occurred to me after listening to the song Nowhere Man by The Beatles. This combination of "now and here" gives me the possibility to dance each day in a different place and also decide which song or songs I will use in each moment and place. This also allows me the flexibility of the duration of the performance.
Likewise, now-here man is a type of performance that I can construct in the place where I perform it, combining elements decided previously, with others that depend on the site chosen to carry out the performance. The performance space determines to a great extent the final composition, making the piece, in this specific case, a site specific.
