Constantly falling

Constantly falling / lowered
Smoothly

Presence

Referring to my thoughts at the beginning of the year
             "I am interested in the use of imagery and how it can enable and aid natural and organic movement. I am also interested in learning more about my body and understanding how it moves and applying this to technique and phrase based movement"

Through my movement studies I have also realised that I have started using this research of my body to create new movements.

MY MOVEMENT IS MORE THAN VALID
Be clear with movement working through the body every body part as clear as the last

Using every body part to expand to try and expand my movement vocabulary
Moving for myself but with presence, being sure of movement

Two halves

Unbalanced
Reminding with hands on each side of the body seperately
Not an exploration
Felt I needed to explore more

Perception

Contrast
Trust
Dynamic
Touch Taste Smell Sight Hearing

Fire

Saju Hari
Punctuating my movement being strong and owning it
Never average movement because you think it could be wrong
Averaging will only make wrong movement look worse

Using what's available

Using what you already know, whats available to me
Knowing an image with my body , not acting from the outside

An introduction to a place

Places in the room
Things you wouldn't normally see, go to, do

Tell the room about yourself, tell others about yourself

An introduction

'I like dance because I don't have to speak' ?
Or because there is the opportunity to speak ?

Finding out about other people, many similarities

How cool ? How smooth ? 19.2.12

Every muscle in my body wanted to be stretched and played with, eased out and looked after

ATTENTION

Pathways

Awakening the spine

Helping me to think about my own movement

Roots -- movement memory from performance projects

Listening to my body

Shapes of the body

Torvald
Fish and overhead creaking
Exaggerating
Pronunciation
Searching
Falling lights
Everything has a cost, nothing is free
Repetition
Underlying stories interesting

Charlie Morrissey

Lifting, challenging myself
Allowing weight over hips, relaxed and open
Suspension and rebound

Transferring weight

Windows


Window like spaces in the front and back of the spine

O P E N I N G

Feel the lengthening of my spine, more space and more freedom to move within

Breathing into the spaces

Power and Volume

Keeping an image of soft feet and knees
Supple feet and knees
Arms and legs are heavy and weighty

SEQUENCES--how the quality of the sequence is affected by the image given

Awareness of other people seeing me - need not to care

Pathways from vertical suspension to the ground

Pathway from vertical suspension to the ground
Continuing into the ground

Repeating an improvisation for it to become something other than just improvisation.

Repeating until something finally makes sense and feels right
