Surface Tensions intensive will focus on
MICRO-KINETIC SENSITIVITY WORK - blood bone lymphatics vessels. eg
Thoracic area. Opening up arms from spine. Creating space. Accessing property transference capacities.
AVAILABLE BODY- to its own systems of movement and other bodies.
Now move into a space working on eg. bag of bones - eagle wings - an extension
of this work. rather than elemental states eg. wind - anatomical images.
HOLDING AGENCY of pure complete awareness of supporting upper body
through upper body, with holding wings. holding shape. rather than specific
form, but still form based.
Another body in there. Internal working - operating with its own
frame of reference and rules of engagement. How does that body stay open and
able to be effected by its environment.
DEVELOP IMPROVISATION PROTOCOL
(Inluenced by Joao Fiasdeiro's method - Real Time Composition)
critical creative thought - not reactive but responsive.
Inhibit desire to perform. This creates clarity and trust for
audince.
Practice the preconditions to work - no reflex and no
expectations.
SURRENDER PHYSIOLOGICAL STATE TO THE SPACE/TIME MOMENT
Employ
- decision making tasks - points of consideration - Point A to B
to C etc.
- external locus of control mechanism
- task: pressure on arm and then it will float by itself when you
let go.
moving without tension. from butoh. It's being done to you -
external control, working with resistance.
- ways of not disturbing the place
PRACTICE SUSPENDING TIME
(Developing in parallel through Rachel's performance work with
Ellen and Marnie's workshopping with Fiadeiro)
Identify the central throughline of the moment, and stay with that
moment until just before it is about to change. Do this by:
Reading the Land (Paddy Roe reference) or Joao says read the
scenario.
Wait for the throughline to emerge.
Name / Describe the throughline (added bonus)
GO - do the act required as you are needed. If you are not needed,
don't go.
FIND THE MOMENTS WHEN READY TO SPEAK/ACT
THIS IS FINDING OUR OWN AGENCY WITHIN THE SPACE/TIME MOMENT
THROUGH AUTONOMY AND IMPLICITNESS
The scenes of decisions become apparent. rather than being
reactive, you are creating a set of possibilities to become self-evidenced in
the space.
Stay in relation to own process.
RADICAL GIFT ECONOMY - SUSTAINABLE EXCHANGE PHILOSOPHY
IDENTIFY MODE OF SELF OPERATION
Questions around changing that sense of what the environment
needs, working with community decision - more than this. what is it that activates
community?
This time is for ourselves
HONOUR THIS TIME
