​​​

1)                                            

 

The only thing represented in this painting is the body line with hands in AUTUM COLORS.

The hand.

The strangest, most sensible and softer part of the body.

The easiest one to play with.​​​​

​​

I realise now the amount of things we do with our palms/hands.

But, do we loose their presence when moving from one gesture into the next?

 

​​

2)

 

Punch the stomach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3)

If i stop circuling in my centre I loose the roots, the sense of connection with the floor.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​

On hands:

hand use (functionality),

hand expression,

hands anatomy,

hands energy,

leading hands,

the palms of the hands,

the fingers,

the space in between.

REPETICIJA,

*change

*discovery

*pleasure

 

TRANSFORMING, MOVING, CHANGING, PLACING, CIRCULING.

​​

 

Movement practice

 

I was focusing on transitioning into other gestures with movement within the imaginary box, not just from the pose. I tried to make my transitions as  soft as possible.

Transition from curve to curve is a harder one.

The tension is so diferente in each gesture, I didn´ treally know how far I could go with movement.

 

But then I just slowed myself a little more.​​​

​​

Practice a SCORE with gestures (1), (4), (28), (26), (36) and (50), following a random order:

​​

2,3,1

5,5,4

2,1,6

3,3,5

5,5,1

1,6,2

4,2,4

6,2,3

5,5,1

 

​​

Whatever doing, even just standing, always circulate.

Conversations on the material with Blanca

Any small detail is huge when is done in a certain way. It has more to do with who you are. Any little movement will make sense if is dome with the strength and honesty of our character, knowing is important, knowing we are there just to do that. PURPOSE

 

Do you feel the parts of your body in motion which are not in focus or leading the movement?

Can you also BE everywhere else in your body?

When transitioning from one gesture to the next, ask yourself about when one gesture is completed (you feel you have arrive to the gesture), and when the next starts.

​​

TEST THE SENSE OF ARRIVAL

​​

What we see, starts inside the body, in the inner connections, and has to project outside the body into the space.

...be on the toes, on the fingers and on the top of your head at the same time. Be alert, READY FOR CHANGE (tensions, connections, direction, placement)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

Rehearsing the SCORE, working on:​

 

-moving gestures in the space.

-finishing the gesture with every part of the body.

-TOUCH

-position-direction of the head.

-trying to be economical (a project).

 

 

In conversation with Blanca

Great freedom element in the score, given by the randomness of the series of numbers (gestures). This adds a very particular sense of freedom. Find what that "state" is, and what energy generates.

Integrating 360` exercise in the gesture spacial organisation of the sequence (structure).

"Randomly circulating the space" SCORE.

 

 

TESTING THE SENSE OF FREEDOM.

Adding new gestures, new possibilities for the score.

 

Working on:

 

-the beat.

-360` multidirectional possibilities.

-fixing a structure, randomly scattered blocks of gestures followed by the repetition of one of them (x3), as follows:

2,3,1,5

5,4

2,1,6,3

1,1,1

3,

5,5

5,,1,1

6,2,4

5,5,5

2,4,6,3

5,5

1

6,6,6

2,5

7

5,8,3,2,3,8

7,7,7

8,7,6,1

2,8,9

3,1

9,9,9

... and so on.

​​

 

Like a little dance, circulating over an imaginary square drew on the floor.

All the reflections from the past will help.​​​​​
