I can be practicing when I was home nursing for 8 hours a day. I can practice listening, I can practice composition, how do I pick up my baby, how do I hold my baby, how long does it take? How can I be in my body when it’s happening, how can I feel the frustration of not being able to move but know that that’s part of that practice? And then how do I make dinner a practice, like what’s the sound of picking the pot up? This is a little bit also going crazy, but how do you survive, right? And the world is compositional, the world is artistic, you don’t need to be in a dance studio in dance clothes to make art
