Sarscha took the initiative to provide her loose structure for the dance:
Fluid continuous movement
- expanding out
- stretching body
- going from small to big
- tension
Manipulating objects
- creating space to move
- Mundane movements
- Blanket - hugging, having it cover me
Weighted physical touch on the body
- hands on body
- outside textures
- rubbing, grabbing, smoshing
- on the spot
- Weighted heaviness (depression) ->> negative emotion. Acknowledging the negativity
Stretches and yoga type pose
- working the body - rotation of joints
Internal textures
- close up on the bare skin
- moving of bones, joints and skin
Derrick’s notes on how he sees himself approaching the final performance:
Fluidity in movement
-> focus on shape, rather than details. Sarscha in silhouette?
->projection onto silk screen behind her. No other light source.
-> the projected light reacts to music and movement.
-> would jenns duality collage benefit from silhouettes?
-> lights (lamp?) comes back on, revealing a cluttered domestic environment.
Manipulation of objects
`sarscha solo?
`I see my part of visual recedes for this section
`projection onto the blanket, before she picks it up and picked it up
`projection dims out, making the blanket an object.
`could sarscha at the end disappear into the blanket, and music and/or visual take over for a period, drawing on the idea of [under the weight of a blanket] and [inside a womb/a safe haven]. -> Jenn’s breathing practice?
`then sarscha reemerge from under the blanket and we move on to the next section.
Weighted physical touch
Live action
Stretches
duality
Internal texture
`bedsheet
`outro - bedsheet slowly moving away?s

Throughout the performance. An overarching gradient: it goes from nighttime-y (dark room) to daytime-y (the blue sky)
