Play

The decision of not setting specific tasks for each session of improvisation left open any possible alternative. Slowly it became clear that our starting point was a playful, democratic and a-gendered approach to the material.

Some other elements that our ways of moving and getting into / out of exchanges of weight seemed to have in common, were

• speed
• interest in uncommon ways of resolving situations.
• Sudden changes of directions and support.... not without a good deal of .... courage!

The sense of play was a main inspiration throughout, a fundamental idea we could return to when we got stuck, to make things work and flow again, or to remember sequences.
