Panda eyes- cute comfortable
Lion Yawn, chatter, our legs folded the same, comfort, coughing, illness, MAN, my right leg is cold underneath, her pen taps in a pleasing way, usually annoyed. Feel comfortable in our box, our shared space, legs walking, soldiers, blue flecks in a coll space, artificial light reflecting clicking of a pen, hair parted in a straight line, sniffing, scratching our shard symmetry, A FRIEND. HELLO!! someone so far away that I;ve never met but I can hear his voice, moving waves on the floor like our shared breath earlier. Two doors to the same place but very different, one with lines going one way and one the other... special marks, the grain. When people are quiet because its not normal to see someone being quiet. SHANNON IS HUNGRY!!

Exploring
Exploring my body and its surfaces... through interation with others and also on my own.
When noticing colour.. I still look at the lines and the shapes the colour holds.

Beginnings (Reflections on my moving body )
My body feels so different from where I left it with last year's movement studies.
I feel a lot more open to new ideas and movement.
My aim over the next few months, is to become more confident within my own body and my own movement.
Get to know myself and what my body needs.

Presence
"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

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

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

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

Continuing into the ground
Repeating an improvisation for it to become something other than just improvisation.

Silk Scarf Improvisation
Imagery taken from SRT session last year and from a filmed class (DVD) led by J. Skinner.
Image of a silk scarf being lowered onto the floor.
I chose this to work with, because I think it is an interesting image and gives the opportunity to work with different aspects. Folding, Stacking, Fluidity, Softening, Spiral, Continuity, Suspension.
At first working with the idea of my body being the scarf, imitating the movements.
This felt quite limiting and I felt that I was repeating similar movements often.
Distraction from the imagery, having to remind myself with simple movements.
Reminded me to use my torso.
I could of worked my way through each body part, much like the silk scarf.

Improvisation
Amy Voris' interests in changeability of self and body, how the body holds a movement history and the ability to flip from one experience to another.
Create a floor pattern working solo and in group
Negotiated study
The use of imagery as a tool to translate and enable movement.
Particularly Skinner Releasing Technique and its use of imagery

Vision
How does vision affect the way I move?
Eyes open, looking outwards in a state of performance.
Eyes closed ane between more of an internal feeling - dancing for myself

Site
Someone's home.
Looking up as if one, swaying with.
Wind as the communication with the earth and the trees.
Felt so connected, laughing with an old childhood friend.
Playing games, completely trusting, chasing, IMP, hiding.
Trees communicate through leaves, roots and WIND
To say goodbye, painful but had warmth.
Personality of the wind.

Feel out of my depths
Closed myself off
Vulnerable
Uncomfortable
How can something like this cause such a strong reaction?
