Day 40

9/17/2012

I am interested in exploring site specific work.  For me, this goes beyond just improvising in a new space- how can I explore the essence of that space and what makes it unique.  How does my body want to respond to the space?  As I started this improv, I felt lost.  I was not in the mood to come in close contact with the wet, muddy, tree or ground.  So I listened, and responded, and began to do yard work. How can the task of yard work become a dance?  Does the intention of dance change the act of yard work?  I know it was a lot more fun, and seemed less tedious.  How do you engage an audience with an every day task?  How do you make it interesting without feeling like you are trying too hard? How can it stay authentic?  Today, I put the whole 13 minutes improv in fast forward.  It seemed much more interesting that way.

    Purpose

    This is a blog of processes. Through the sharing of media and writing I am following my impulses, teasing out and unpacking, translating, solidifying, and making concrete my investigations into something that can be shared.
