          Last Sunday we had really amusing night sparkled with the jazz, talk and sharing different ideas and approaches. Sam shared with us different art forms and described how he does things, how he connect with them, why is improvisation so important in Jazz music, how composition works?, how to think in philosophical tone how audience receive your music? How sound can interweave each other?how technology can penetrate into the audience?How we can catch that moment musically?..really, very delightful night and questions around the work of Sam Murray.  I was actually moved by three things, first music by itself, than talk about improvisation and the moment when we communicate with the audience throughout the art, music, performance... In my fourth AOL I wrote about communication through performance and I would share some sentences from that area cause I somehow found relation between performing music either dance, movement, theatre...

   Yesterday we had another useful conversation around resources, looking our literature, what it is to seek to expanding through resources, what kind of engagement need to be, how to find an inspiration, how to research through online material range resources, where to look? This whole idea around finding for a good books, sources, literature sounds really tiring but in the end this is about us, this is our practice, our ideas, and we must be busy within it. And we should look for that kind of literature, concepts from different perspectives, reaching out to scholars, other researchers but stick to our project, our practice and engage to open oneself to different perspectives. This will also help us to give our voice to this newborn project. In our practice and research we must find an excitement of researching. When we find the GAP (Helen mentioned in conversation), what we are looking at, that cognition raise the blood and temperature in our body,  (in a good way)and w...

So I guess I finally decided what will I explore until the end of the 2021. It will be about the flow. Precisely, Embodied flow in (on) motion: matching work with the breath, touch, voice and movement. I must say that first few week were for me a bit confused and I was struggling a bit, cause there so much thing i would also love to explore, but for this Master you need to be more specific and clarify the research area. First thing what came to my mind was flow, cause this is something i am working on since i started practice, dance, teach., even in daily life we need balance, clear goals, concentration, good organisation, time managment.. Fluidity in movement is something so important and demanding. Fluidity requires calm mind, presentness, embodied wholenes (the whole body is included), good breath support, we need to be rooted, have knowledge about mobility and stability, kinesthetic awareness, floating body, sharp mind, orientation to quality, less quantity, more confidence and j...
