Let go, move your body, don’t think, don’t look, don’t react, just accept…do you care whose watching? Do you?  Your feet are water, let them meander to the bridges of movement…your spine is like plastic, let it stretch and distort…let your skin breathe and brush the air of the room…release your nerves and tension which are swimming in your shoulders, brain and legs…

     …Release yourself in time, space and rhythm…

Notice your senses listen, smell and experience the natural…feel your hair flicker against your pores, as your body becomes lighter and lighter…close your eyes, let them fall to the backs of they’re socket and,,,

Lose yourself…I dare    you.

Thank you for inspiring me blogs, Theah

a final afternoon of 13 solos
singular events using body/space/time/frame
rolling one into the other

audience scattered, moved, intimately traced, placed, invited
myself affected, part of each page

each performer was revealed in his/her process and
moment of presentation

Writing on the Body minor module cp202 leaves the studio
and enters a documenting process

And this weblog was one way to explore the possiblities
of documentation
to create a dialogue between moving and writing,
making and thinking, ourselves and the world,
but it also
revealed confusion, a resistance to,
a misunderstanding, even a fear of writing.
It confronted us with the difficulty of a consistent collective
gathering of reflective experience
beyond the studio hours together.

Understanding that words can record, remind, reveal,
re-invent, reflect, provoke, inspire action

and extend beyond our physical presence

In this month of documentation
this weblog is still open
a potential event and forum

Dialogue

Repetitive singular action

A mode of thought

Change and make it known

Coming into a space

Today is not my turn to make a post, but I decided to put pictures from today’s dance class here. They turned out to be very good.

I’d like to make a personal remark that I don’t like Yair’s comments on me being and behaving silly. That’s why I will put pictures from Yair’s todays 5 females massage session here. ;P

If You are not at the pictures so far, don’t feel bad or excluded, cause You are in the background of this picture for sure!

I may be a little scattered recently, because I’m going back to Poland and my life in England is finishing now for a while. So I feel much in transition point, in between. But as my Buddist landlord says: try to enjoy the present moment and don’t think of the future. My exchange contract at the Dartington College ends on Friday just after tomorrow’s dance assesment with Helga. I’m flying back to Poland after Easter. I’m trying to d enjoy last weeks here. I’ve read my landlord’s book about getting rid of anger within oneself which says that first you have to enjoy the food that you are eating and concentrate on it and on the present tense. To do it you have to chew your food a lot to make it a liquid in your mounth. So I’m trying to chew a lot recently and grasp to the moment.

Develop a parameter in which you can move. The material follows.

Consider Space, spatial movement. Giving something out to the space and then taking something from it.

Rhythmic movement, follow your bodies’ pulses.

Keeping control and letting it go.

Follow a desire, an inkling, a moment of clarity.

the silence before
the silence after
silence in between

silence as a space to breathe
as a space where something can happen
an invitation

I become less and less interested in the dance material,
but more in the energy, relationship to time and space that
underlines the body’s movements. As though the subtext of
life, the sketch of life beneath the narrative and waving of arms
is
more
vibrant
more
relevant

and silence is part of the sketch
