Lecoq - Music

 I love music. 

Monday

With Federick in movement we re-visited the Neutral mask. We squeeze through a tight space, then open up into a space with 'chair', 'bench', 'platform'. Ceci n'est pas une chaise. Also, don't forget to finish strong. 

With Anne in improv we explored sound effects. A DJ, and an actor. 

With Yasuyo in the afternoon we worked on the platform. How do we change from a party to the hermit downstairs? Then we worked on a family packing and going on vacation.

Tuesday

With Eric we did the rest of the Bateau movements.

With Yasuyo in improv we created an ensemble doing abstract sounds for a place. Library, Cathedral, a port, the Artic. Can we use our voices to create a verticality? How about loneliness.

In the afternoon we presented the valise of des enquetes.

Wednesday

With Anne we started practicing the 20 movements. Undulation, reverse undulation, skating.

With Eric we listened to a piece of music and completed a recipe to it. The music was light, playful; at what moment do we depart from reality? Can we do abstraction, but stay with the music?

In the afternoon, we completed our autocour with the platform.

Thursday

With Eric we continued the 20 movements. Fixed point, eclosion, weightlifting, rafting.

With Paola we listened to a piece of music and moved. First we were the music (don't forget the space), second we were manipulated by the music, and then we manipulated the music. Lastly, we were gods that controlled the music. It might be my first and only ever pas mal by Paola. We were in Miyazaki space.

With Eric in the afternoon we moved Schubert. For me, the 4 seasons arrived with the music. Two people are walking in the city, when it starts to rain, and then to pour. The two find cover, and then something intimate happens.

We are all invited into the second year.

Entretien

Saturday

We presented our des enquetes again.

Sunday

We presented our LEM models in the grande salle. It appears that my experiment might just end up being cubes. Go logic.

For Christelle Brouck

  I knew who you were when we first met. I was in shoes, street shoes, and you told me later that you thought I danced jerkily and that was okay because jerky was a style in and as of itself, but I wore tango shoes the next time and you were drunk and you thought holy moly this guy can dance smooth. You laughed a lot in our dances, and you said that you had no idea what your feet were doing, and I said me neither. That made you laugh harder. I asked you if you had done something to have your chakras re-aligned, and you smiled in that way you do and you said that you knew I got it. That made me feel connected and spiritually knowledgeable even though I had no idea what it meant to align chakras. You said it felt like it had been helicoptering around and when it came home you felt like you'd found you, and I smiled and said I understood. We had these misunderstandings and projections on each other but I can't seem to find the strength to remember or write them down. After you wer...

Asie en Italie

 It's terrifying to see two Asian kids grinning at you across the street, flossing their hips in tandem Maybe they know something I don't. So I crossed the street and sat down by the tree next to them for some brunch. The two kids seemed happy, mostly fooling around and playing with each other.  When all of a sudden, an older lady (mom?) came over and started yelling at the younger boy. He looked mortified, confused, and was guiltily trying to hang on to the sense of joy he still had earlier. And the older boy just went over to hug the older lady.  A hug was all it took. They conversed a little more, before the lady left. The older boy sat down, exhausted, while the younger boy played with his fingers. These Asian boys are on to something.

Dying twice

 It seized me from the inside and the outside my whole body trembling lines were added and then more between  this world and the next breath made no sense the air was within and without I was lost so it seized me and I allowed it I fell backwards  with a sigh eyes open or shut? something kissed me and emptied me  of my breath of everything the lines flooded in to form a ladder into infinity of which I was at the bottom gazing up yearning then a powerful presence on top suffocating, milking, birthing and then I was left wanting staring through the cages at children trapped in pipes The message was clear; not enough effort to unlock my childhood ~ I wanted another ~ It seized me again I didn't allow it Held my ground held my breath within and stared down the goblin it refused to budge neither did I My shaman was whispering good, good what did good mean did it matter? I am here and I fight for my breath until the goblin wavered his red eyes glinting shimmered and got su...
