Reflection day 1

​​​​

​

I picked the 3 gestures.

I named them:

​​

​

"The branched shooter man" (25)

"Foolish greeting" (26)

"Side bend chewing gum" (42)

​​

​

I studied them.

​

"The branched shooter man" first impression study:​

 

Head resting on biceps

Closed eyes, relaxed jaw

2 wounds: forearm and ribs

Fine line fingers to fingers

Folded, broken branched figure

​

 

Associated with the tree near my home:

While doing the task noticed the strong atmosphere-state:

​​

Melting

Drunk

Dizzy

​

​Details:

-Soft articulated fingers like "shooting a magic spell".

-Soft pile to start the movement.

Reflection day 2

​​​​​​​

​

Score for 3 gestures practice.

​

1st group meeting notes:

​

What do we do when we dance? To embody, to be on something, to physically be on something, to enjoy, to get pleasure, ... what is interesting for a human being.

 

Isolation meaning: to re-position everything else, to reorganise, to stay connected, to work as a unit.

 

2nd group meeting notes:

​

How do you reach for the gesture? To grow it gradually, to come at once (whole body), to go separately part by part, to stand a ground base and then impose details (head, look, gaze, fingers,...)

 

How to find a significant meaning for the gesture? ... to squeeze the essence. Associations, facial expression, feelings, emotions, atmosphere, character, physical experience, sensations, vibrations, memories, ...

Reflection day 3​​​​​​​​

 

Morning session notes​

 

-We enter the space with the gesture, the space has infinite corners. 

-What are your individual tools to help you be on something? 

-What is the transition between the 2 gestures? (driving it with the fingers, resetting to neutral, letting go the space in between)​​

 

 

SPEED TASK

On the music track​

 

-Arrive to the gesture before the beat, let go, arrive to the next gesture before the next beat.​

 

1 Melting. To close the eyes, to open the leg, to relax de jaw, to create the space for fingers, to project the whole figure, to release.

​

2 Squeeze inside, to release one side to lift the other side, to open the eyes, to tilt the head, to grow the gesture fingers, to greeting, to release everything.

​

3 To lower the centre of the ground, to open the position of the legs, to expose the navel to the front, to unfold the diagonal from the floor to the top of the head, to bend the elbows, to direct the look upwards, to project the side of the gaze to the front, ...

​​

​

Afternoon session notes​​

​​​

-Lifting the the atmosphere of the gesture with the sound, to take it for a walk, to free the gesture.

Group conversation notes

​

-No mistakes, just small happy accidents (Luka)

-SOLID is to be connected.

-FAST is to be connected to release it to connect again.

-CONNECTED is to feel where everything is.

AWARENESS is being patient with the body and the mind, to give the time.

-Moving... constant negotiation and decision making (letting go, but how much?)

-Moving... constant dialogue in between.

-BONES are giving the structure.

 

 

I picked 2 more gestures.

I named them:

​

​​

"The pinch" (15)

"Listening to the shell" (11)​​

​

​​

​

I studied them.
