> scapulae : sacrum
Wow. Hi. It's been awhile. I got that cold that everyone has. For the past few weeks, my creative practice has mainly involved constructing small mountains of used tissues. Pretty edgy stuff. I seem to be well enough now to clamber back into my 100 days. (Though I am still integrating cough drops into my improvisations.)
This pretty straightforward movement improvisation was a great point of reentry. Back to dancing around the bedroom! I took each pair on it's own. After I'd been through all of them, I played around with trying to combine them all, but it felt random and diffuse and I lost steam.
Observations:
The heel/sacrum connection was surprisingly hard to find today
Moving from the sacrum makes me want to either stick my butt out or drop straight down like a plumb line.
Except in the scapulae/sacrum combination, when it felt like three arrows trying to point in different directions.
Opposite effect with the pubic bone. I was doing a lot of weird tucked pelvis. I think I emphasized the skull more in that one. I took in more visually when moving from the skull.
The scapulae/sacrum connection was the most delicious. I didn't have to search to find the connection or keep reminding myself to find it. It's just there. And something about removing concern about the distal points of the body made it easier to explore kinesthetically with less thought of visual aesthetics. Or maybe it just fits in nicely with my visual aesthetic?
