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

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.
