what are we longing for?



I am speechless when it comes to this piece...
Unfortunately, I was not given such a gift as Pina and her friends were (as for the dancing skills), but it doesn't matter...She seems to be so outstanding to me because she believed that everyone can and should! act out emotions... She was working with her dancers bearing this idea in mind and the result speaks for itself, I guess...
Once again, someone reminded me of how treacherous it can be when you are not expressing yourself, especially regarding the feelings. Pina's fellows talk about it a lot in the movie...
Several months ago I came across this article, concerning the 5 most common things people regret when they are dying here. Suppresing the feelings  is one of them...
