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.

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.
