Using my centre
Full of breath, of movement
Light from my centre shines out through my spine and out of the top of my head.
Rays of light

A centre with eyes and ears, which sees and hears.

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

Listen 7/11/11

Siren - Uncomfortable because of connotations?
Unknown noises/static - unnerving, worrying, ugly
Laughter - unnerving, very unfamiliar
Footsteps - soothing and familiar, beautiful, rhythmic

Score from recording

Listen 1/11/11

I find it difficult not to get distracted by other senses and overwhelmed with sounds. Is the distraction a useful/good thing?

Some noise made me jump
Breath filling a hollow space, swirling
Belly noise,
Sharp,
Memorable
Musical scales lifted body from the insisde and imitated falling inside
Sounds reverberated depending on pitch and volume

Don't usually notice the sounds when walking. - Something I do many times a day but never pay attention to.

Knowing is not experiencing

"Once while doing a plie I suddently had the feeling that I was standing on the whole sphere of the planet. This was the first time that I actually experienced the earth to be something other than flat" (Dance Imagery for Technique and performance)

Connected to the earth

Lava flow

The richness of the earth

Part of the earth

Walking on water

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields.
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is evergreen;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!


Welcoming
Calling

Expressing self through words is very different from expressing through dance and words

Voice is part of the moving body - how it changes when moving

Need to find comfort and confidnece working at all levels

In the quest for washboard abs, we must remember we carry a lot inside of us.

Heavy weighty head

Brain is light a jellyfish, reaches through the whole body
