Where is Africa on the global underscore map? Where is the
middle east? India?
Vladivostok is actually eastwardly from China and Malaysia! J
Be here even when you are not
Reflection during the small dance practice: ‘happy to be
alive’
lalalalallalala, Is the song in me now
the trees are swirling in the wind
the clouds hanging
high in the sky
are moving slow slow slow
energy in the room is very very high
I like to be one of the trees
rather than the wind
Perfect timing. Nothing happens. Exactly at the right time.
There are many crazy people out there. But still, be careful
not to miss them.
It was sensitive and sensible. Happy to be here
Sharing Circle:
Nice opportunity to practice putting all of that into words.
practicing projecting [we
had to speak very loudly for all in the big circle to hear]
an engagement, development, even when I felt tired but not
so really, got a burst of energy
discovering
disciplined way of riding the playground
thanks for nice dances
smooth power, sweat, fun
softness, lightness, and earth
thanks to the ones I’ve danced with and the ones I didn’t
appreciate the mint in the melon; very conscious jam
grateful for creating the atmosphere and the possibilities
for this to happen.
unexpected things
great opportunity to observe my mind; we can choose
beautiful score, peaceful, and sweet watermelon
dance and movement, investigation and life combined
full experience, I had it all, juicy experience
opposing energy, fighting each other, moving away combined
with sweetness
beauty coming out of focus
people
I’ve been with all my experiences
liked dancing and watching
chaos reordering
inner space of courage, patience with my self, happy end
astonishing experience with rejection. experience taught and
care, surrounded by good people. I can take rejection
awareness of dancing with the world, see the magic. dancing
with my emotions
thank you
I’m still a virgin
Yes
enjoying peace, powerful playground, thank you all for the
experience
the connection and the intense energy in me and between
others. getting into action results in many things
a lot of people that I know now, I feel happy, I keep them
in my heart and thank you all
never ending story about being more adaptable
watching the flow of the river and waiting for the river to
take me
researching the nature of emotions, balance in between
extrovert and introvert
to leave the dance to flow, forget the reasons, great
experience
staying with the gap
for 5 minutes I was watching us from outside of the door,
looked like a wonderland, I see animals
being nurtured
concentrate when I am not trying to concentrate
different qualities of the dance, playfulness
happy energized
happiness and sadness
the structure was a container, gave me different qualities;
I felt contained
lost and found few times and there was a meeting, big
surprise at the end, precious
stay and going deeper
uniqueness of dancing body
surprised to realize that my reflection of my inner being,
letting inside made beautiful moments
many touches, snapshots, Nancy preambulating, Ray kinesphere
watching out of the window seeing the wind and felt clear
that I want to be the tree and not the wind
patience
overwhelming feeling of anxiety and possibility left me with
detachment, but I lost it away.
patience for being outside and inside
small dance is very big, and a hand on my shoulder that lasted
for all of the jam; whoever that was: thank you
unique global interscore power
sensible and sensitive body ready for something else,
emotionally in touch
remember the others around the world were doing this with
us, enjoy the atmosphere changing, fill the room full
I felt like I was dreaming
algorithm for space
I enjoyed the visitors that came and dropped by [said Mike,
the musician]
engagement is very satisfying, surprising to discover again…
wow!!
Then we got up and stood
facing Erlangen, Germany, and at 8pm the bell rang and Global Underscore 2014
was over. Time for dinner and the festival closing circle (and more jamming!).
We cleaned and cleared the beautiful big space, and many positive echoes of our
experience remained when we said goodbye and left the room.
Thank you, Brandin and
Nancy, for making this powerfully connected Global Underscore improvisation
possible for us again this year. I visited you all as I stood inside my small
dances, moving from place to place in my mind and heart, around the globe,
happy to meet you all in this body, this time, this dance. [NSS]
