Lab Recap:
Before warming up with the developmental score (see below), we opened the lab with an exploration of initiating from the pinky finger. a.k.a. the little captain. We began by a micro envelopment that began with initiating from our pinky. We layered on the motion of pulling our pinky into or sending our pinky away from our center. We abandoned our pinkies for a time during our work on envelopment. We recalled Margaret's observation that envelopment is a reach and a pull. We used language to talk about our observations of enveloping pathways. We danced and witnessed duets that grew out of our work on enveloping.
Observations:
We observed that enveloping can make use of the processes of yielding into and yield away from, which was put into high relief by the very athletic double envelopments we witnessed in Margaret and JulieAnn's duet. It feels like Juice has more work to do in defining our terms: envelopment does not seem to be a new "developmental" possibility, but rather a pathway into discovering new opportunities to yield into or away from and so on in the developmental score.
The pinky work seemed to open up spiral pathways.
Thoughts on this week:
I'd like to learn more about the developmental score. I also really like focusing on technique toward the end that I learn more about the developmental score, like I could really go for some crescent rolls--putting the little captain in charge. Your thoughts?

i agree that the little captain initiates spiraling, and the crescent rolls are all about rolling without spiraling. however the little captain can add finesse to the line of energy from the pinkie finger to the small toe.
ReplyDeleteas for the developmental pattern, i can bring my copy of Sensing Feeling and Action to the next practice, which has that info.
