...'It is a fight ladies....' are the first words I hear....followed by 'using fight not to win...but to make interesting things...', interesting proposal.... returning to the issue of intention and understanding the clarity of the task, to then see how it becomes 'productive'... tasks and rule, obediente and disobedient, ahh those themes return.... how we break the rules, when /how we return to them...
'Find something....then find a way....' awareness, judgement, choice.... which then leads to the next, evolution of the 'idea' from within.. Contrasts of qualities....negotiated... until rules need to be changed...'Sense' when it is working? The group asks: how? when ? do we know? difference between sensing and knowing...'goodness' under scrutiny...how does a simple task shows itself to be productive? concentration? change of conditions? investment on the task? singular, particular, universal in relation to using experiential stimulus ...

Cigarette break. After the break we move on to consider: when are we subject, when are we objects....and how? which makes me think of the particularities of performance (and choreography): subjects whilst remaining subjects knowing that they are the 'objects' of someone's attention (and working towards that), but what if we remain the 'subject' of someone's attention? the 'thing' I am attending to but also the 'subject' (as in 'thema)' that I am equally attending to, does that not shake a bit our understanding of the object/ subject tension which has troubled so many dance theorists?
