Working in a New Way!

Reacting to the sounds, smells and sights. Not necessarily in connection with one another, just to get a feel or impression of the site in the body.




Often I see a connection between us as dancers but I don't know if it would be strong enough without the site to simply copy the movement. My question is, what to do with this material? I am swaying towards picking out key moments to create a phrase to play with in the space.


(This is the first time I have improvised in a public space and I feel so inspired by this multi-sensory stimulus! I will definitely be visiting this in the near future)

Interview with the Choreographers!

Is it important for the audience to know the meaning or should it be left up to interpretation?

Inner Circle!

Improvisation


"The personal experience of tissue is called embodiment and is a vital part of the study and practice of BMC. First we study the tissue, using pictures, texts, or anatomy books to formulate an image of the structure. Then we go on a movement journey, called a somatization. People lie or sit comfortably in the room. Some move and others work in stillness. The facilitator guides the group on a journey inside their bodies. Participants notice the sensations in their bodies and the feelings and images which arise in these places. "

Listening internally to... breath, vibrations, heartbeat, humming, bones creak.

[Preferably watch in mute]

Duet Score!

"Bringing internal or landscape sounds somehow draw us to the whole environment" - Important to our piece as we want the audience to be aware of the space in relation to us and the world around it.

Choreography Duet Starting Point!

My life and the worlds life are deeply intertwined; when I wake up one morning to find that a week-long illness has subsided and that my strength has returned, the world, when I step outside, fairly crackles with energy and activity... Likewise, when a haze descends upon the valley in which I dwell, it descends upon my awareness as well, muddling my thoughts, making my muscles yearn for sleep. The world and I reciprocate one another. The landscape as I directly experience it is hardly a determinate object; it is an ambiguous realm that responds to my emotions and calls forth feelings from me in turn.

(p33) The Spell of the Sensuous, David Abrahms

PHENOMENOLOGICAL WORLD!

"Being in the world" where person and world are mutually constitutive

defined by directed-ness, embodiment and worldliness

is my experience of ... the same as yours?

Everything is Connected, Nothing Stands Alone...

VISION:




Keeps going - never and end, 360º in every direction, one object leads to another
