Finding a forgotten place

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!!

Feedback/Work in Progress sharing

-use the actual sound of the breath
-use of eyes and focus, play with difference between having the eyes closed and moments of open.
-definately need to warm mind and body beforehand
-see each other
-longer movement before sound is included
-hear and see at different times
-not class based phrases

Beginning Duet

Duality
Making decisions is a concious action not a reaction
Staying with one thing is difficult committing
Group score - to witness levels and clear connections an opening when asked to help explore different moments of contact build trust unexpected confidence to just let happen but obviously pre-thought is involved moments of stillness and interruption staying with something e.g unfamiliar (hand on head follow with it, not to do the natural) restriction?
Ending not neccesarilly still or like rest of the group

Body Part Duets

Challenging to stay with own movement and connect
Thinking too much
Starting poing, offering

Space/Place

Polycentric and Non-procenium space
Interior and exterior landscapes
Site-specific (specifically for one place)
Place(designated area)
Space (where you move into? inhabiting?)

Duets with chair



Exploration of Space/Place

Duet beginning

Seeing and reading works important!
Relationships

True duet is that each performer is essential to the whole
JIGSAW (not same but works together)

Conversation with partner (can't answer question because don't know the question)

Stop thinking don't question be confident with self don't try to understand just do be more aware of tasks and of partner don't try to understand feel work together not just you others too don't need to be close don't force just let happen contact can be simple more attractive work together can leave and return enjoy.

Paper Duets

Would it be as effective as a solo?
