18th of June - 4th day

18th of June - 4th day

This morning we start with movement. First the Junior Group is leading the session. So let me share first what we did yesterday afternoon, cause actually it was all about the preparation of today’s teaching.

Yesterday, after the long discussion of the morning and the lunch break we had a big hunger to move and we spontaneously started to play with a ball. Just passing the ball one to the other, playing, laughing… Then we just gave a score to ourselves. Let’s play with the TIME of the ball: the rhythm of the passing on must be equal all the time from one to another.

This starting score transformed very quickly and a lot of new elements came in.

Then we tried it out without the ball, just recalling the body sensation we had during the first game and with the idea of passing on the movement.

At a certain point we start to build up from this experience what we will „teach” or rather share the next day. Here is the structure as a result:

1.      just showing during two minutes the very first score: keeping the rhythm of the ball that travels in space. We ask them to observe and try to catch the score then -without discussing- to play with it

2.      Then we give the instruction of doing the same without the ball

3.      We give the same exercise as in the beginning but this time we give the instructions verbally. After a few minutes we join the game.

At the end of the session we sit in a circle and share our experiences, first from the student side, then also from the proposal side.

Here comes the score of the international group:

1.       For 10 minutes we are dancing with/from our hearts: “Heart dance”

2.      Everybody is a student and can ask anyone to teach him-/ herself something.  – 30 min.

There are 5 options in this score:

·         you are just freely moving on your own in the space

·         you ask for teaching from someone

·         you become a teacher if someone asks you

·         you join a teaching that you’re interested in

·         you become an observer (max.4 people)

3.      Everybody is a teacher and can teach anything to anyone. – 30 min. (same options as before from the teacher's side)

4.      Feedback for ourselves in silence - 5 min.

After this session we again share our impressions.

This whole morning session process was recorded. I invite you now to see how it looks, feels like in practice:

Afternoon

In the afternoon, we did body work in pair led by Defne and Katja. We felt the need to conect with touch and settle the information that was accumulated during the last days.
