Frustration felt very much prominent in my head today. Frustration with my choices, how my body felt and my memory in particular. It feels as though when I move I am conscious but it is my body which creates the impulse to move so when I have to remember what I did it makes me use my mind as the impulse rather than the body. This therefore makes the material feel different and I second guess the choices and struggle with this. It's almost as if I have to rework material and re-discover movement patterns.
It felt good to move with everyone and share the energy and space with one another. It felt like a charged space. What resonated with me from today was the task where we moved to text as I had to respond quickly which meant I could break habits but also remembered the movement as the text become almost a trigger word. It was interesting to see how everyone translates these words into movement and our responses became more than just a 'dance' but a language to communicate physically.
