Always with ourselves, always in the world: we constantly live this dual condition. But to (re)know the other is also to (re)know ourselves. In this space between self and world, a playground opens up, giving rise to expression.

 

In our gaze upon the world, there are attractions, small pauses where perception settles and opens to a poetic space. A place of repose – where one dwells and savors – and of movement – carried by a desire to create. Memory meets the present, and imagination deepens the connections, bringing forth meaning.

 

Life in the Voice. Practice immerses itself in an organic flow from body to voice. Embodying sound, a meeting that creates meaning. Inhabiting the matter of the voice, in sound, speech and song.

The Body and the Voice

• Breath, resonators, textures, rhythm, melody.

• Connection body, voice, singing.

• Listening to impressions, the perception of sensations.

• Presence: memory and passage; a support that receives.

• Creative materials: traveling through the resources of one’s imaginary home.

​​

Where does my attention – my attraction – go? We can only think about one thing at a time, moving between an inner understanding and an openness to the world. Our attention shifts and varies its focus, from the small to the immense, from movement to rest, from sensation to sound. Regarder (to look) is to care for, to vigil, from Old French.

 

Art, movement of becoming. Becoming escapes the constraints of needing to know before acting or producing an outcome. Attraction carries the impulse of creation. Becoming carries its aspiration.
