(Re)visiting and inverting 1: tracking back

If you use the metaphor of sewing - this improvisation is like making a back-stitch within a series of running stitches.

Begin your dance, using an impulse of within the body, in the room or the sounds around you to initiate your movement....
Stay with a single action/phrase a while - find out by dancing with this action/phrase some of its possibilities. ..... and then as you feel ready, let your dance 'run on'....

Then returning, going back to a previous point in the improvisation... revisit this material in order to know it otherwise and to see where else it might lead....

tracking back and forth your dance evolves....
