Dance Reflections is a weekly Friday podcast with Peter Mills and Yari Stilo, centred on conversation, shared practice, and taking time to look back in order to think forward. The series reflects on recent episodes, past experiences, and ongoing questions around dance, life, and practice. Through talking, occasionally dancing, and revisiting shared histories, Dance Reflections creates a regular space for continuity, response, and staying in contact across distance.
Dance Reflections sits alongside two other podcast series:PETER, dance with…, released every third Monday, where Peter invites a guest to dance one of their practices  and reflect on it together; and A Day In Dance with… where Peter and Yari reflect with a guest about a day in dance, and DANCE WORKSHOP, released on the Mondays in between, a series of short audio workshops exploring dance through imagination, movement, and curiosity.Watch videos of all Dance Reflections Episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5iebzO4vouz_45v7u7SeYn6fpgp7uN2m

In this workshop, Peter is joined by Yari Stilo for the second episode in a series exploring the gaze. This time, they explore two different forms of gaze: low gaze and own gaze.
Beginning with the question “What happens when the audience disappears from the dance?”, the workshop first explores Low gaze through dancing while looking down, dancing as if nobody is watching, and deliberately performing shyness. These experiments consider withdrawal, exposure, spectatorship, and the difference between genuinely withdrawing and performing withdrawal.
The workshop then moves into Own gaze: looking at the dancer’s own body while dancing. Beginning with Deborah Hay’s “Turn Your Fucking Head”, the experiments move through looking at the hands, feet, chest, and finally the place where movement is happening. The gaze becomes a way of tracking and discovering the body rather than directing attention towards an audience.
Along the way, the distinction between Low gaze and Own gaze becomes increasingly subtle. One turns away from the audience; the other turns attention towards oneself. Both raise questions about who is watching, what is being exposed, and whether looking itself can become part of the movement.
Questions Explored
What happens when the audience disappears from the dance?

When does not looking at the audience become a performance for the audience?

What does it mean to look at yourself while dancing?

Does looking at a body part change the movement, or is it simply observation, attention, or performance?

When does the dancer become both performer and observer?

What happens when the gaze becomes interested in the dancer’s own body?

Dance workshopExplore, imagine, move.
A companion series to PETER, dance with. These short audio workshops invite you to explore dance through imagination, movement, and curiosity. A space to rethink what dance can be, anywhere, for anyone.
