What is the body that’s

 

That becomes

 

Through this practice?

 

Or whose body?

 

Dancer’s body?

 

 

 

 

 

If my body is articulated in a particular way, it’s not articulated in a different way

 

So it’s a matter of exclusion also, maybe, is it?

Somewhere between the cracks

 

 

 

Spaces in between

 

 

 

Movement can enter and movement can exit

 

 

 

Bundles of relations

 

Fibres

 

 

 

This is not this is not that

 

Not that

 

 

 

It’s not that we pass the torch from one person to the next, but rather that one person lights their torch off someone else’s

 

 

 

 

 

I never had thought, I never had this thought before that how many bodies are here and how are they doing differently the research score?

How does my thought differ when I talk or when I don't?

 

 

 

Space of independence or collective individuation

 

 

 

How does my thought change in a body that is warm and supple

Cosy incommensurability

 

 

 

 

 

If somebody doesn't want to

 

Be embodied

 

Should we then democratically all stop being embodied?

 

 

 

 

 

Could somebody please take me apart?

 

 

 

Please

 

 

 

Thank you

 

 

 

 

 

What is this ‘my’ body?

 

 

 

We share energy

 

We share temperature

 

We adjust to each other, but we don't share blood

 

We don’t share fluids

 

 

 

We don't share strategies for recreation

 

 

 

We don’t share viewpoints from with inside my eyes

 

Or my hips

 

Or my toes

 

But we share osmosis

 

Cells

 

Magnetic field of the heart

 

That alternates how---that alters how I think, I think

 

I think, I think

 

I think, I think

 

 

 

Are we sharing the same time?

 

 

 

 

 

Can I copy you?

 

Can I start thinking like you, if I copy you?

 

 

 

Thinking as if

 

 

 

 

 

My pelvic bones speak to me right now, quite loudly

 

 

 

My legs are singing

 

Together with my arms

 

A choir 

 

 

 

My body is dreaming

 

 

 

 

 

The torso

 

Remains sitting in the corner with me

 

 

 

How could you do this?

 

 

 

 

 

I imagine that my cells are in a quantum state

 

Both vibrating and still

 

Remembering

 

 

 

If I imagine movement and articulation, I'm free of constraints

 

 

 

 

 

I remember

 

I imagine

 

 

 

I re-imagine

 

You

 

 

 

You remember me

 

Remember me differently
