"Creative study entices us from one question to the next; we are bugged by the question, which generates another answer, which is itself another question. We re-create the book as we read it, we start our way around the edge and work our way round and round into the center. We may reread the book or rehear the music months or years later and find newer, more integrative meanings, rhythms we weren't ready to hear before, deeper music." (Free Play – Stephen Nachmanovitch)

 

These two classes will focus on improvisation guided by what I call 'INTERPLAY', the mindset that is the fluid movement between play and meditation.

In the work of writing and filming 'Essays on Freedom of Movement', I've learnt that most of my INTERPLAY is responding and interacting with two uncontrollable forces: Gravity and Consciousness.

Meditations on gravity becomes my posture, play with gravity becomes my footwork…

Meditations on consciousness brings me awareness, and play with my consciousness sends me to unexpected patterns and directions in the space. I am being pulled towards the ground constantly and I constantly add experiences in my mind. Can the two construct a space for movement?

This research is the core of adapting to different styles and objectives of movement disciplines. To play hard but meaningfully so, to move softly but with clear intention.

The classes will be taught in English and will include a short warm up and a Q&A at the end of each class.

And just like any improvisation, the best explanation will be the experience itself.
