Spasmotive 10 More Threads

Stef came to downtown Croydon...

As Stef sums up...

"Yes it was great

I feel like every time we meet the connection to what we r making gets stronger and the possibilities reveal a little more of themselves.

I'm looking forward to coming to the rehearsal next week and seeing what you are up to physically and what that might spark visually."

Spasmotive 8. Looping to Climbing

it's not a struggle for me to work with my body - it is the challenge that inspires me to work with who I am.

Spasmotive 7 Pieces

At the beginning of my session, Stef (visual artist and dancer) dropped in to the space to give me some fabric, needles and threads to experiment with before our next working session - I can't wait to try...

In this session with Franca and Dianne, we focussed on the "Mountain" climbing and falling...
here is a short poem

I feel the tension, in my head

Swell like a balloon

Waiting to Pop

A long String of muscles, suddenly

Detach from  

The Fear vessel,

A gentle spasm comes,

Pushes me to the side

Water fills my head

I know I’m safe

To fall

The balloon has

Started to go down…

Spasmotive 6 with Franca and Dianne

Today's session was really experimental - with the projector and trying ways to project some of my art work. I also moved to create some "imaginary" drawings as my arms hung themselves through the loop. I was moved by the realisation of being free of shifting from left to right, and right to left... without the demanding force of my "left hand/side" dominating the way... 

Dianne is on the other end of me and we are experimenting with balance, climbing and height.
