Imaginary Dance

A score for 6 days

Every day repeat one movement in the studio for some time.

Delve into the movement.

Write down the reason you stopped the movement for each day.

Name the Movement

The first step

Make moves.

Give to each move a nonverbal name.

Let it exist in the space.

Let it obtain its own score.

Don’t think.

Do it.

Spread movements,

sounds

Create autonomous cores of movements.

Everything generated,

Trust it

Quality of Movement | the sharpness that the trust embodies.

The second step

Try it with words. Claim the absurdity

Quick body. Quick mind

Try

Fail

Or not

---

What happens if we imagine that our bodies are generators of movement?

And that movement continues to move in the space and chooses its direction, speed and its quality on its own?

An almost autonomous perception of the movement.

Having this perception of movement in your mind, read the below score.

Take time to understand and try to activate it in a sensorial way. Find a place and play.

Not-knowing and misunderstanding are also part of the process.

A score for an imaginary dance

Movement.

It starts.

You can delineate a part of the movement through your body

but still,

there is a part of it which remains invisible.

You can observe it, catch it, grab it.

Play with the different speed, quality, directions which are built up though your discussion with the movement and space.

Who knows?

In the end, it is just an imaginary dance.
