Today I had fun playing with the the light coming in through the window.  After that it was all floor.  I am not very comfortable on the floor and moving at a low level- I find myself doing the same thing every time. I need to make the effort to spend more time with my base of support something other than my feet. 

Fast forward x4.  I played around with using the architecture of the room- specifically the crown moldings and corner of the space.  The second video you see was my warm up. I played around with repetitive or fussy movement.  I then tried to work on moving only one body part at a time. 

I am stilling playing with timing.  My natural impulse is to flow movement one into the other- I am trying to find stops and pauses- at beginnings and endings, and in the middle- interrupting and finding a new path.  I also love repetition.  Repetition feels so good to do- its therapy- moving again and again and again until it has no more meaning or until I can let it go or until I am ready to begin again.  It also allows me to explore what a movement can become, finding smooth pathways, and letting the movement really resonate in whole body.  

Stop and go.  Freeze. Start. Restart. Begin. Begin again.
