warming up in couples

it is good that mainly those people stayed who took part in Jan Burkhardt’s group an hour ago

body as a landscape practice which is not bodywork

“stay with your interest, change do not be mechanical”

“nature takes over”

I work with Gitta Barthel - she does not want to be nice to me or her, she follows the instruction to change - this makes her always moving out (either as non active body on the floor or active body working on me)

i like the way she touches me as i focus my attention really to imagine just flesh and bones of mine - i like the quality of her touch

sometimes provocative (tickling) - which makes me laugh

than we start to work in two groups (7+7 people)

short score - made by Ingo and me (we became the chosen)

spontaneous movement (everyday like, we just repeat what we make by chance)

sounds, sentences, straight lines (little bit staccato - as one movement is me and another one is him)

the others make the documentation on different ways

everybody can choose how (s)he documents and what technic is used plus from what point of view

5 ways of documenting

Zoi Dimitriou _ GB - writing as a script

Marian del Valle _ BE - writing about impressions and human connections

Laura Faguer _ FR - video docu 5 ways - first just faces and last total

Ingo Diehl - mover with me

Michael Jahoda _ NL - photos (pics) just the feet and the tape on the floor

Yves Riazanoff _ FR - sound of the movers

Marta Ladjanszki _ HU - mover

we are talking about the way how we document in general and how do we want to share our docus with the other group (they will create our score by watching, listening, reading our docus

question, what do we want them to do, a reproduction or to create something new? - or both are there at the same time?

how much do we give them freedom to choose from the docu materials? 

we decide to give the choice to them, they can ask for as many informations as they want to, but first every of the docu makers share the genera point of (s)his documentation (they frame them in some words) and then they even share the docu - the other group can choose which to use in the creative process

Yves even suggest to sell the docus (and make money:-)), in this case we could see which docu process can be sell for more money (what is the most valuable information?) - but then we skip this idea and prefer to give freedom

if somebody was writing it was very much in focus, how she was reading the writing, it is immediately personal - like Zoi’s script as a radio play

after all these informations the other group try to put together our “easy” dance (as there is some sound problem, Yves’s sound recording can be added just a bit later)

sound = timing

sound = has a role in sharing as the one who reads or talks immediately gives meaning by the tone

the other group starts with the script (the most clear documentation, no meanings in the text plus the text itself - which has a mistake as “O” became in the docu “4” - mistake in the docu)

the group starts with casting and they decide to change Female to Male and Male to Female (as the sound recording is added of course it is funny - mimic without sound)

although the video documentation shows the choreography more clearly they do not want to change in the movement, prefer to stay with their creation

for me the charme of the original act is lost - this was underlined especially by Marian’s writing - quality of the relation, smile, attention
