CDP/NYC reflections from 8/16

CDP/NYC reflections from 8/16 (last date of summer session):

Myself, Carolyn, Taavo, Deb, Jeremy and Jessica:

We continued in the format of "flow" from sanctuary, sitting and personal awareness.

Warming up around perception: Jeremy quotes from CTR: "three levels/types of perception:

emptiness (recognizing space)

experience (noticing what's actually there and interacting with it)

luminosity (clarity to ?)

Taavo notes: In the search as actor for kinesthetic delight the support of gravity, weight & momentum act as support (great to have something fundamental occur as an "insight!)

* How does kinesthetic delight find support in character, story and image?

We continued the evolution of "the Solo Quads Aunt" with sound and light!

* How is the witnesser not part of a duet if they are holding a light

* How do we negotiate simultaneous music choice?

* Where is the line between influence/support/collaboration?

* How do we deal with questions around discretion, light as support, sound as support, witnesser as support (an exploration of all the elements via red square?)

The suggestion was made for each of us to contribute to a bag of support objects (lights, props) that may remain in the space/in circulation. evolving our recycled vocabulary.
