Improvise for 2 mins.... then pause, reflect.
Taking your own improvisation as a score or trigger, dance again for a further 2 mins.
You might think of this as making a response in order to reveal something of the previous dance
And... in a cyclic process you can go on... each period of improvisation illuminating and shifting the previous version.

This blog is a Practice as Research project that accumulated (as is the nature of both blogs and improvisation training)over a 2 year period to reveal a NOMADIC DANCE IMPROVISATION PRACTICE in development. The central panel blog entries, through a regular 'date with (my) practice', document the improvisational tasks themselves, whilst the 'Articulating Improvisation' pages reveal contextual and philosophical ideas surrounding and emerging from the practice.

A beautiful day!
Responding to what is available.
Giving yourself space and time to absorb and integrate your changing environment is a key part of nomadism in/as improvisation...
Video: The studio is bathed in sunlight, casting shadows and warmth across the space, I dance.
