Thoughts from the studio floor 22.9.2015

We begin today by 'remembering' Thursday's work.  Not a 'hard memory' but a soft active remembering of what remains, not worried about what is forgotten (this will be explored later).

Dancers are asked to think of ONE WORD and ONE WORD only that seems to arise as a result of the movement process.  We are not looking for an 'explanation' or a theme, but a thought that surfaces from the movement process.

That one work becomes the 'lens' through which the movement acquires another layer of specificity.

The word now becomes transformed into a TASK given to another dancer, trying not the reveal what actual word but a task (an open exploration) of the word, but not the word as a referent.
