PREPARING SOLO SOLA/SOMA for the next performance

 

 DO not judge any creative process!!

Everything is fine, whatever you do on your journey.

"Always trust your material"... this morning I got a beautiful, inspiring and encouraging (just when I really needed) message from my dear mentor, critical friend and now colleague Dr. Helen Kindred. This week was really strange, I did ariel yoga, acro movement, yin yoga, modern dance, improvisation, a bit of a ballet, yoga, stretch,. simple walk..and still I was so confused with that what I want to achieve, to many information in my head, to many observation, and in the end of the working week, this morning I was done with my "working material", and then suddenly the message comes. I am so grateful to the Universe when that things happen, when I can rely on simple and strong friends message. It is so good to have that kind people around myself.

Today I found interesting quote from Nestroy, I was actually looking something from L. Wittgenstein from Philosophical Investigations regarding self-expression....First quote says;" the trouble about progress is that is always looks much greater than it really is"...and Wittgenstein said that aspects of things, very important in our life, are actually hidden, so simple and they are very known to us. Interesting:) these two quotes are not very connected to each other, I found each of them in other books....but after I read them, and did my night walk, I did not stop thinking about them. These quotes are so simple and yet powerful, so clear and vital, and this morning I was full of question marks about creative processes and maybe here are the answers:)

In Choreographers Handbook, Johnathan Burrows ask: what we can say with the movement? I would ask also, what we can express with the simple gesture, facial mimics, hand movement? Is it the movement the real medium we can work with? I

 It is NOT always about the movement, yes! I am going through body, body parts (there are a lot of handwork, repetition, expanding and contracting, head-tail connection, connection with the core of the body, shifting weight, issue of proprioception-such as where I am standing in this world right now? I am moving also my emotional state (eMOTION), how my emotions melt in the spaciousness while I AM MOVING, while I am DOING MY DANCE, intrinsic one. I am interested to show this feelings in spontaneous kinaestetic way- what is happening now and how will I kinaestetically react?

a lot of questions coming out to my mind....

Sandra   October 19, 2020 at 5:02 AM Hi there:)) how are you all doing? Unfortunately I could not participated last week in online sessions but I would like to share my thoughts about ethics, ethical procedures and ethical considerations in that what we are creating , thinking, how we researching, how this impact on us and the others, how would be understand,...A lot of questions coming up to my mind during this study such as what we are aware of while creating something? 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? All about ethics is make sure people do not get hurt, insult (this brings me to Plato(w...

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...
