Last day in the studio with Becky Horne and Chris Spraggs

Space between 2 points. Brilliant day. Thank you

Thursday 8th September

recalibration….

greater trochanter and outside of the ankle – coming back to locating physical anchor spaces of absorption and weight – spaces in ankles and hips for absorption of weight

how this reflects in the body – the legs of the chest.

direction/orientation of sensation from one landmark to another is different to both landmarks switching on at the same time

loops as landmarks – noticing the rhythms that occur as loops

touch shared/common space – offered up some potential understanding of what reflections might be.

touch 2 places and work with the spaces in between

death to the onion – necessarily

drawing and emptiness

mourning the loss of Tuesday – something landed. all explorations palpable and available at the same time.

multiplicities – finding and landing in and out of previous events

We moved, we danced – Alice Coltrane

We danced, we considered through our dancing: loops and reflections, we danced – Boy Lucas

We danced some more and danced, more dance and danced more loops – Chemical Brothers

Best Friday in a while.

more reflections

hands on work starts the day. From the extremities falling into towards ourselves, opening spaces in the body, the hips, the ankles, the shoulders……

The touch is light and inviting, specific but not directive. we move, follow, get lost, recalibrate, notice where we are, locate, register, move on.

Reflections, loops and cycles.

locating clear landmarks – physical and as a way of considering the positioning of self.

In relation to…. reflecting and being reflected

‘Reflection is an example of a transformation. A transformation is a way of changing the size or position of a shape.’ BBC.

The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.

A thing that is a consequence of or arises from something else.

An idea about something, especially one that is written down or expressed.

Touch
