staying close to home today,
close to studio
close to body
brown seemed safe, normal, home, our name
We talked of body, of trees like body, we talked;
k-How do you know I have a body?
j-I can see it?
k-How do you know you have a body?
j-I can see it and I can feel it.
k-Are you only a body?
j-No, I have a soul.
k-How do you know?
j-Because sometines someone can hurt me
without it hurting my body?
k-And mind, what is that?
j-Here (points to head)
k-Is your mind part of your body?
j-Yes, its also part of your soul.
k-maybe between body and soul
j-maybe
then we both imagined if you were only body
and had no soul
k-are you then an animal?
j-no, animals have souls, you are a sort of robot.
And humans are animals anyway.
k-And if you have a body, but cannot see, hear, sense,
taste, or smell? Then you are completely unaware of
anything.
j-mm
In the studio, we did some movement tasks
1. one person calls out body parts
and the other moves, moving from body part.
2. one moves with eyes closed, the other watches.
Each time one minute dances. One minute goes fast.
.
3. Each of us made 5 positions, still tree bodies and
the other took photos.
4.We found a skeleton in the cupboard.
.
Because juno has a desire to fly, because nora suggested
we find some techniques to fly, because we are with body today
we attempted to catch seconds of flight. Also talked about
the sensation of flying. And anyway what is flying?
Juno said it’s when you are in the air, but he sat on me and I
wasn’t satisfied with this explanation. OK, in the air and you
are not touching the ground and you are not touching something
that is touching the ground. So in the aeroplane you are flying?
No.
Juno told me about someone who had recently invented
turbo-wings and that you could fly with them, like a bird.
A note from katrina
working these days with juno are very interesting.
having to structure and give freedom, to suggest
ideas but also to mostly give them up. Frustrating
when the things I want to do, Juno finds completely
boring and irrelevant. Wonderful when out of nowhere,
out of listening to the moment, of letting go of the plan,
the most unexpected, fun things happen, the most
philosophical talks appear. I am learning alot from working
with juno, and I wonder what and if he is learning.
mmm
