Why does it feel so good to write those words?
Because I am emotionally, physically and mentally drained after this term. I am sure that the commute has a part to play and I think my re location for next term will help in that department.
Physically we don't have any many practical movement sessions as I would like but cycling has keep me active and strong so I can be pleased for that.
I love to cycle away from something and feel the freedom of traveling swiftly and independently whether in a solid direction or a meandering flow I am off somewhere.
I think because this MA is the reason I have cut of from other links and work and it isn't integrated into my life, it is my life, means that I expect alot from it. I always wanted to do something like this alongside working in the industry as normal but this isn't really happening yet.
I feel a bit stuck in this land of reflection and it's killing me softly.
But I also have a problem when I think about the next course, about going to Gaulier next year for example? do I need to this, is it excessive, my feeling is no.
So I need to be happy with my i am here now and what may happen as a result.
To write and articulate my practice is good for me, because it is hard.
Wow so many short sentences with full stops at the end, I am finding this hard obviously. The boxing off is pissing me off and it always has. How can I keep my spirit alive, the passion for doing what I do?
Okay i'm going to pack for home and continue this later.
I full term one analysis is coming! in some form anyway, i need to put it in it's place and not as an almighty weight for me to bear.

Ha Hello
Lots has been going on, research, anatomy my way, socialising, teaching, reflecting, wanting to be elsewhere BIG TIME, rushes of inspriation, the space between is what im playing for, the future, the present but rarely the past, rectus femerous, owning it, the movement director, love far away, voice my voice, tension, imagary, release, persona, an enormus sense of wellbeing, more than just yoga!, the pleasure of boring things, I am what I am....
Finding a connection through body and voice, emotion in the voice and the capacity to play your role through what you are really feeling experiencing.
Presentation 2 - I want to communicate something well. I want to stay connected to my audience. I want to give accessible, useable advice. I think I did this on tuesday when talking about how an actress would play the role of a pregnant character.
Why has my writing on here become less poetic and free?, why does this happen?, my source of inspiration seems to be in the building more than outside. So I think my learning has become a bit tunnel vision and maybe this has left me flat. I do want to tunnel myself because I think it is necessary but I also feel connected to my knowlege when I open my senses and live. To make it real is how I own it. I need to trust that.
I had a lovely sense of me on my way this week with a big difference in the work I presented compared to my peers I was happy. I mean happy in the knowledge that I was less technical, included less aquired knowledge as them but that I did the task my way. I learned from it.
I take the notes that they give me and I must plod on and keeping working my way.
Its the first time for years that I don't know what is round the corner which seems strange as I havn't had regular work for 6 years which is normal, but this sensation is different. I am living in a new place, completley new, I am in love, I think i'm taking a risk, I am starting a new chapter out here and in me.
Some things I heard this week...
Actors want to feel but they would be better sensing
Actors are the creators, the team around them just support it
As a movement person working with actors keep your powder dry don't be a 'movement person'
Work with the actor, in their language
Hold back, let them do it. Don't be a wonderful mover it's not useful
The movement musn't overtake the expression
Keep the warm up, gestural rooted in pedestrian movements
use voice - actors need it
be very focused on the aim of the movement session
