Sanford's Experimental Edit

Here's a little experimental video edit from the underscore footage. This particular edit is more about capturing some of the overall flow (and creating a specific scene for our film). Also it makes use of some voiceover freshly recorded on monday.


Of course this does not attempt to  capture the nuance and sweetness of the day, which was after all *very* sweet and rich. We'll be able to deploy other of the footage in various other ways in the film's overall arc.

gratitude,

1) HARVEST:

A.- All of us felt the energy wave facing Chicago, it made us move in ways we usually don’t.

B.- First time to some of us, …, this is the way to do it !

C.- Thinking of ‘spacetime’ Andrea Scheel wrote:

“La belleza está en tu cabeza y en el cuerpo la delicadeza. De cada mano hombro; movimiento en completa inmersión en este momento. Cada respiro en completa inmersión en este momento. Cada mirada en completa inmersión en este momento”

(ROUGH INTERNET TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH: "The beauty is in your head and in the body the delicacy. Each hand shoulder; total immersion movement at this time. Every breath in complete immersion at this time. Every look in complete immersion at this time")

D.- Ivan & Daniel draw some figures during harvest.

In Austria



Global Underscore in Vienna – Modified Jam Score
Place: Werkstätten und Kulturhaus
15h-19h




Sun and wind entering the room through the open windows.  6 people inside, prepared for the underscore journey. A group process, a group journey. An individual journey, a shared journey.  Pow-wow, we welcome each other, smile to each other. I explain the underscore structure. I feel  grateful  for all that contact improvisation have brought into my life. 15:50 global small dance. All the people, here, now. Being. Present. Seed for peace. Turkey.  Brazil. South America. So many people from South America that I know and admire. 




transition – repetition – backward – forward – inward – inward repetition – again – am I going in circles? – is that a key? – there is somebody that I … - boom boom – big free bear – must it be like that? – an eye snapshot: all the group in a cross-like position, arms to the sides, really interesting as a composition– speaking in no-existing but understandable language – words in movement – I am moving my wor(l)ds – the turtle – home is omnipresent – is he asleep? – something is touching my lungs – DIS – RE – dismantle – reconstruct – I am playing the window – she is playing the shelf – my self, my own self, myself – but the group – the group in me – the group of me – the group around me – the sun is illuminating her face – my hair got longer and my head weights more – all the group in the corner – out of his hip – this wind is so touching – chair meditation – brrrreeze  - she is clinging to me but I am going to move on – yes, he must be sleeping – readjustments of  the peripheries – double –

‘everything makes love with silence’  
‘tangible absence’

 – two expressions from the poem of my beloved author  keep coming back and back to my mind. I am such a tangible creature (am I?) The silence that filled the room during both small dances was tangible, so thick and so substantial.

people loved the underscore because of the strong feeling of being a part of the group

Facing Granda for opening small dance
Facing Madrid for closing small dance 

Prior to the underscore there were two musicians in this studio recording so our transition was interesting. They were bringing out instruments, microphones, other equipment whilst we were clearing the space - tucking two grand pianos under the stairs to the balcony, putting the gamelan instruments in the storage cupboard clearing teaching materials like flipcharts and wipe boards into the green room. So prior to our score, the space was filled with sound. 
The space had a balcony around the walls with folding chairs set up and red curtains. There were no windows.  
The organizing team did a quick check-in with each other. We did short hellos to everyone and then went into a brief history of the US and the GUS followed by a talk-through with superb enlarged graphic representation of the glyphs. We took a short break and gathered for another pow-wow and offering of any seeds for the practice. Below are glimpses from the arc of our score.
