Day 46

My sweet friend Janette loaned me a copy of A Map of Making Dances by Stuart Hodes.  This book is filled of interesting projects to explore and generate movement.  Today, I improvised from the ideas of Project 7: Movement from action: physicalizing.  What every day actions can inspire me?   How can I make sweeping, cleaning, reading, writing, and watching TV a dance? 

For my second go around, I went with the action, to watch. What does it look like to really see, look, and observe while dancing? To perform is to multi-task; one must observe and respond to their surroundings while simultaneously engaging the audience through a purposeful focus. What if that purposeful focus is to simply watch?
