first in site tag #AutoEthnography #ArchiveExcerpt for excerpts from my notebooks. The notebooks are a one-stop for my academic research | choreographic notes | poetry | meeting minutes | sketches | reflection | and dreams. The process of going through the last ten years of these is a ritual of burning things; making art of others; transcribing notes and revisiting somatic learning. It feeds a creative process and reminds me of community. I am grateful for the time with each person during the making of these as they continue. Grateful to process experience and honor its change. Plus- I love my brain (whatevr that is).

How we sit.
Unknown
in hard reflections
of windows
-the sound
breathing of
bus air
someone there
-the reflections
of my computer
in the window
lights
of the phone
the sunset
the cup
smiles
the god

notes on the Eliot / Bales “Dance on Its Own Terms: Histories and Methodologies”
an historical exogesic. an in-depth analysis of dance “events” including specific dances; notation and music scores; accounts of performances; teaching styles; cultural and political movements; physical movements; dance theory; film; technological advances; makers and processes.
“exegesis that allows us to change
our perception and relationship
to what is already there in our field..”
? how might we take this awareness beyond discipline.
toward a meaning of the field of un/awareness; of non/perception.
Ideaology and historical position reveals itself in the choice of makers and things made. content and context in which a writer is made to engage with their own narrative invention, identity, relationality, gender, body and dance.
the body and the work
each as object of effect and as affective subject.
(excerpt 2020)
