In the middle of process of refreshing AOLs

 Hi:)

 I am in the middle of process of refreshing AOLs and my head is full of information and new learning. I am so fascinated with the literature and the amount of knowledge about embodiment, movement, experience...Inspired by famous antics philosopher Heraclitus and his quote that there is nothing permanent except change, than Rene Descartes cogito, ergo sum, which oblige us on continuous rethinking and implying that body can be build and developed, not just controlled than that there is something in constant changing of one’s cognition and condition Bartenieff just brought another understanding: “1. Change is fundamental. The essence of movement is change. As we move, we are constantly changing. and this is our REALITY. The body has been associated with change and movement and this change we perceive through our physicality. It is interesting how the body was, from the ancient time till nowadays, subject of furious discussions and inspiration for not just dance researchers, rather philosophers, religious scientists, sociologists, psychologists, politics. Everyone somehow were looking for the TRUTH, DEFINITION, WHOLENESS. (Re)cognition can be achieved, according to Kant, through the sensing body. Mind acquire knowledge, cognition from experience and we are back to Decartes. It is very interesting how philosophy of embodiment, position of the body in society found time and space through the history and made SOMATIC study as s very important site of knowledge and interesting journey.
How about you?what do you thing about embodiment? how you defined human body?

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. In the context of this research, for me embodiment through fluidity has many stages and possibility to achieve fluid movement requires knowledge and experience of moving the body according to feelings, present state of min...
