(no subject)

I've been trying to come up with a way to say that thing that I'm trying to do when I dance lately. It's something having to do with not-responding just to respond, not doing just to do. Accepting what is, witnessing it, feeling myself and anyone with whom I may be dancing. Sounding pretentious as hell.

It's loosely based on Olivier Besson's theory of using the smallest motion that will fulfill what you want to do. Letting all of the options play out, rather than just doing the "obvious follow-through".

I've noticed it really bothering a few people, they seem to really want a response, for me to do that thing. When I don't they try harder. Sometimes I respond "wrong". Other people seem to love it. It definitely opens up a whole range of new space, ways to break patterns in my body.

Now I just have to decide how I feel about it, and when to use it.
