Duet Process..

Me & becky had our first few rehearsals in the studio :).. We are working with Steve Paxtons theory on the 'unconscious'.

"The consciousness can easily turn off to the experience of these reflexive moments... Could the conscious learn to see these gaps of awareness?... If a gap of consciousness occurs at a critical moment, we lose an oppurtunity to learn from the moment..."

Paxton, S. Contact Quarterly. 1993.

We started to explore the idea of the unconscious taking over while we undertake contact improvisation by improvising with each other and then trying to remember it. We tried this a few times and every time we tried to repeat ourself it changes. This was a great example of the gaps in consciousness.

From this we decided to use a lot of repetition in our duet. 

This is what came of our improvisation.
