Hi:)My name is Sandra and I would like to reflect last night's interesting session regarding seeing Practice and myself and discussions around learning, knowledge and information. I will say something from my perspective and long experience as a mover, dancer, teacher and observer. From my point of view i would say knowledge refers to the some point of awareness and understanding on the subject acquired from learning (studying, experience) of a person. Information we could see as cultivated form of data which is helpful to understand the meaning knowledge or skills (which could come before or after learning, such as receiving informations)is the relevant and objective informations that helps in drawing conclusions. So i see this three things as a wholeness of different shapes which through the phases becomes one thing, oneness (like i think something Elliot also added in discussion). Those parts are full, intertwined and connected and i would just add and related to t...

AoLs can give you a nice headache...
Sandra November 17, 2020 at 4:45 AM Hi there:) I am finally here after almost three weeks of non stop reading, exploring, learning, searching, headaches, writing.... and I must admit I was enjoying a lot. I wrote something in academic manner 7 years ago and we know what is happening if you do not practice on daily basis, it is the same with physical practice, writing, thinking... its just do not work if you do not practice, so I was really motivated to write again and surprised when I entered again into the world of free writing which I succeed in a very short time, to collect all valuable information, learn something new and convert everything into a good experience and hopefully valuable academic writings. I want to thank Sue librarian for the help with the books and tips how to find good books for my aols and Helen, my supervisor, for the constant communication, encouraging and directing my writings. All that would sound more beautiful if I was really succ...
WHY WE WRITE ESSAYS IN ART BASED STUDY?
Today we had an online session about what is the PURPOSE in writing academic essays in art? Many profound answers has been highlighted and found myself in some of them. My purpose for writing, academically writing essays is embody practical knowledge, experiences into the word. Through experimental writing I completely want to articulate what I am doing in my practice, explain how to develop my practice, making reflection on my work and critically observe how I am 'feeling' on that field, that means that I want to give to the reader an explanation about some somatic understanding for my research, how much I am engaged in those ideas of exploration and something about the context I am referring to. Expressing ideas academically, structurally, on philosophical basis by observing, reflecting practice about myself and the others makes my experience much worth it. In TED talks Walter Hood talked about how great things happen when we exist in each other world, I would add that gre...
Last three weeks i am really preoccupied with thoughts about my plan proposal research. My brain and mind are overwhelmed a bit, cause searching means charging the energy but also exhausting a mental sources. Since i have completed all my duties to MODULE 1 , proposal for the next stage brought to the wall, to the dead end cause i was asking myself on daily basis, ok, what will be your research project, what is of your best interest, for what are you longing for to search... Somatic work is so enormous, huge as ocean and i am in the middle of the ocean in my tiny boat and sailing somewhere ( i still do not know..) but then, i started to think, ok, let's check aol areas, key words from your work and start from there, from the facts i wrote about it, from the simple things, and i started from the conscious and why conscious matters...Firstly, we reflect various things. We proceed from the first movement and breath point of view. We embodied through senses and thinking body. According to Dewey we believe that every experience is an impulse. Every reflection on it provoke dull state of mind, evoke critical thinking, constant re-thinking in movement if we take it from somato-sensory aspects. This is a journey of dynamic learning and according to him means “knowing in action”, when we are truly open for the search or according to Husserl knowing is always and only through a state of pure consciousness. How we can have knowledge about something?
What we are actually aware of a particular movement process? The central structure of an experience is its intentionality or in intentive/minded body. Before we move, we think Dewey says. Phenomenology gives much vide range, addressing the meaning things we embedded in our previous (internal) experience, the significance of objects, events, tools, flow of the time, the Self, the environment, the tiny breath are experienced in our LIFE-WORLD. These things lead us to the meaningful-discovery learning of a given experience, somatic awareness, understanding of prior cognition by comprehending metacognitive condition and open the “appetite”, the call for contemplative and participative observing (as a dancer, mover either active observer). Decartes sees body as an experienced and articulated entity of action. Consciousness coordinate stimuli (brain/mind relationship) according to purposeful perception at the moment in time. Our body is moved and defined by our intentions, energies, breath. Being aware of all one’s limitations give an aesthetic purpose of the dance. Matching work through the breath, touch, voice and movement lead us to a specific body-mind connection and bring experienced body to existence while securing the aesthetic purpose while dancing, moving, performing, either walking…
Activity in the movement and self-awareness with the breath support arise through perceptions that internally affect external circumstances. Movement itself according to Sondra Horton is somatically affective, we can relating movement through imagery. To move with a somatic purpose is to move with an aesthetic purpose and aim for transformation through somatic experience, which goes through constant awareness, perceptual realisation into something enormous, such as consciousness which is fundamental to mind and thought relationship, connected to the trust, intuition and our primordial experience. Expanding the awareness of self-expression and self-perception at the persons state of mind we move from the state of paralysis into a state of active engagement. Reality of whole self shaped in (by) the experience and consciousness bring us to the body of action with purposeful task connected to the breath, curiosity, surprise and perceiving knowledge (experience) and the movement as fundamental and hidden in our EMBODIMENT.
That is why conscious matters
