recapturing

We spent part of the day looking at recapturing material from Sofia (from they just took it text). Looking at improvisations (on video) from last December, and then seeking ways back into those states. It was surprisingly simple! I suspect this has something to do with my recognising/remembering the experience of the states, and then going back to the physical postures, physical ideas, that led to these experiences. The organisation of my body, the ‘danced coordinations’, the within-body relationships seem critical in accessing the psychological terrain.
