It is al...Hi Sylvie, Thanks for your kind response. It is always very useful to recieve comments of all kinds, but it gives me hope to recieve this kind of feedback because it tells me that some people may empathise with and possess an understanding of my concepts and the feelings I instil into my work. <BR/><BR/>More than this, I appreciate the opportunity to share my enquiry and if my inquisitiveness can be aligned with that of someone else, then ... we have a conversation. I find this very affirming and exciting in itself. It is interesting to think of this blog as a virtual equivalent of what I am investigating on the street. <BR/><BR/>All responses are worthwhile; brief, protracted, cursory or in-depth, comments which are in agreement or those which may disagree. It is all a source of interest, indeed, wonder to me. <BR/><BR/>I am very pleased that you feel borne up by the thinking/feeling in this work. It could so easily be construed as a depressing or cynical perspective on life. It is not meant to be. However, people will bring their own perceptions to the work, whatever these may be and this is all good. I consider the whole notion of 'leaving' to be a conduit, a swipe-card if you will, into whatever awaits us so the event does not have to be negative.<BR/><BR/>However, I am very aware that some aspects of leaving a meeting in the world of the everyday (as opposed to the rarefied atmosphere of theorists) can have connotations which are nothing short of sublime and of major import to the individuals involved, so this must colour my research too. <BR/><BR/>I will be continuing rigorous research into the nature of 'conversation' and 'engagement' on the street with a focus this time, upon the minor chords in 'leaving'- the emotions that may be engendered by the experience. This will be the source for my next dance/film research in Wellington city this week - Duende. <BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to you being a part of this and experiencing first hand what you may bring to the meetings. <BR/><BR/>My intention is to work from a structured improvisation basis, to see what kinds of intimate/small-dance/protoconversations we may be able to employ through CI in the street and to begin to perceive how 'leaving' may be realized as a signature moment. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again, SylvieWild Swimming Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422973770773339028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045159115886627661.post-12656783477795814862008-04-26T15:32:00.000-07:002008-04-26T15:32:00.000-07:00right now, I'm in a state of leaving, of hurrying,...right now, I'm in a state of leaving, of hurrying, of needing to get on to the next thing...<BR/>so, just quickly: I feel somehow nourished by reading this post. hopeful. & grateful that you are doing this work. The term proto-conversation is new to me. i find it exciting, and also grounding, to have a new way of thinking about what happens in CI and indeed in other exchanges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
