Robert Clark Day, 7th-8th July

Empathy.  We go out and try to follow an individual in the street.  Not to imitate what they afre doing, but to really observe their behaviour and see how it impacts upon us.   One comes back with ice cream- having been forced to go inside a shop and do something or the 'subject' would have become aware of being observed.   Tough physical days.... deep somatic and kinetic work.  If it was a 'happiness' workshop last time Rob was here, this time we share an intensity which surprises us all.

Thoughts on the go:
[Μαριάννα]
Νιώθω πολύ ελεύθερη να έχω την δυνατότητα να επαναλαμβάνω το εαυτό μου δουλέυοντας με τα συναισθήματά μου και εκφράζοντας τα κινητικά.
είναι ενδιαφέρον πως η αισθητική βοηθάει νε μεταφράσουμε τα συναισθηματά μας..
Πόσο δύσκολο είναι να χορεύουμε για τους άλλους?????

The task of following a stranger on the steet: weird...uncomfortable...stalkerish...awareness of my physical self as part of being aware of the other person's physical presence...
Followed by extreme phyicality, kinesis, connection with the other which was exactly what I needed. A lot of awareness arising from the physical movement.
