A written score for a brief, isolated improvisation within a 1.5m2 space
Sense heat on your skin
Enter, moving in many directions with haste, without arriving
Hide the beginning of the retreat. Fold your limbs inward easily, like fabric until you become very small. Observe the duality of restriction and freedom, fear and comfort.
Pause. Listen
Spread slowly, upward, as your body opens in many small places. Witness growth
Notice any self-applied rules and release them
Decorate the immediate space around you with your extremities and soften to allow the echo to travel to your centre. Do the action and let it go.
Overlap
Repeat
Arrive at a natural ending. Rest
