"The best thing about a wall is that you need to be sort of surprised by it because the audience doesn't know it's there. It's there so I'm..what? That's what I'm thinking. I have to feel it, make sure it's not going anywhere, and then see how big it is. I'm moving on the wall. Remember, I'm now going to do this very slowly. I'm curving, going away from the flat object, round, to a flat object, then I'm moving my body, and this is difficult. Once you move, this hand is going to want to move with you. This is a very good practice. Standing from one hand, moving to the other, standing from one hand, moving to the other. That's creating motion on your wall. I want to reach out, move over, bring my other hand, reach out, move over, and we're moving."
