What we are aware of in the experience of a particular movement process?
EXPERIENCE and ACTION has an importance in my life as a teacher. It is very clear that we have to be able to reconnect with our own bodies through the movement, but that also gives a hint that student needs first connect not only with the teacher, I would rather say with his own body and mind, his patterns, habits, emotions,… Agree, this part is slow and hard but as a teachers we ought to find a tool how to teach them to follow us, than how to overcome it, how to stop imitating teacher/student movement, how to re-pattern and recognize their own, except it, how to listen, become intimate with some parts of the body, creative and then start imitating again with own qualities, originality, vocabulary, imagination, acceptation of their own being using the voice as a rhythm, clapping with hands, using an instrument as a leader, using laughter as a catharsis element, silence to imbalance their zone of stability, using the space, harmony/disharmony, different habits, body language, …
Experiential learning teach us how to share this knowledge together, how to mirror and share this meaning with us and the others and think about the consequences for the group. From this understanding we can act, react and create the kind of group or environment we want. That is why we need to use everyday ongoing reflective practice and have reflective conversation with ourselves that empowers us teachers and increases our self-confidence but also make an interaction with the learners and evoke theirs meta-cognitive condition and open the appetite for contemplative and participative observing.

How will what we are doing affect or maybe influence on people who are not us? (i mean here on dance, movement teachers, artists, performers), how they will feel, or what they know in the course of what happens and how we can carry out the people involved , the spaces, the time in order to make sense of experience, ideas...and how to entwine an element of quality there? how we create the truth, the real experience?

MODULE 3//Sept 27 2021 -WHAT AM I DOING?

WHAT AM I REALLY DOING? Tonight's we had a very useful Module 3 discussion about what we are doing in our research, how we are framing, finding clarity, scratching the surface, focus on relevant, how we specify what we are doing....so after the discussion and really thankful after some clear questions, i would like to say about my project... Still my research title will not be my setting stone and I will be flexible and open as much as I can..  As part of my 2 month physically active researching period on a project Embodied flow in motion I am interested in exploring embodied flow in motion in 7 phases (slow flow, free flow, bound flow, open-spiral fluidity, fluid touch, floating sound, imagery flow, flow re-patterning) through embodied movement practices.
