Task 1: Learning about the Arthrometric model was interesting for me, I tended to notice what movement was coming from my hips and shoulders in the central zone. When running around the room, I was practising articulating my feet (using my metatarsals, hinge joint) and the gliding joints in my feet. I find that knowing the terminology for different parts of your body helps to image them when moving. I didn't fully know what to notice or understand the purpose. Learning about the radial symmetry was informative, ie; elbows and knees are biaxial, cannot alter direction but can offer full range in movement, and the joints from the knees to the ankles are triaxial, as are joints from elbow to hand. It's quite complicated and would take a few physical exercises of exploration, to fully grasp .

I came across the fact that Dance Passion is on between Feb - March by chance while at work and decided I was going to enjoy some time this weekend watching dance and seeing what works were being produced in the UK now. I am hungry for discovering my own passions and venture with dance. I watched a couple of short films on BBC Arts. What excited me? My favourite piece was a multi -sensory dance film called 'Flight' by Jennifer Rooney and Ciaran Haggerty; decorated like a 1990's home and made me feel warm and smile instantly. Maybe it's because I'm currently 5 1/2 months pregnant, but the joy, naivety and innocence of the concept of childhood that the piece was focused around really resonated with me of reflecting on my own 90's childhood, while being semi conscious of the journey still to come with my own child (bump). Almost like a generational psyche! Another piece that intrigued me was watching a short film called 'Time' by Light, Ladd, Emberton - a...
A positive start to the year - exploring space with touch, sensing and perception, and playing with surface were all highlights for me in experiential anatomy sessions. Sensing and perception article interested me in terms of learning how our perception can affect our whole way of seeing and living life. Environmental, genetic and happenings in life build and create our mindset, which then creates situations where we experience emotional responses for example; if you feel sad or paranoid that someone is upset with you; that does not necessarily mean they are upset with you, but you PERCEIVE it to be that way, depending on the conditioning of what your brain and body have been exposed to; example is repetitive situations where similar situations have occurred, almost like when it triggers fight or flight response. It's the brains way of protection; this is all that I realised and found out from our group discussion. Exploring with space and touch made me notice things ...
