Thoughts and Ideas 11/1/21
Musing
Harmony/Disharmony. Have you ever experienced a conversation, dance class, or performance where something said, asked for, or seen, jars a formerly harmonious chord in your being? What is that? How is it useful? How do you respond or engage? Do you engage? Discuss.
Creative Experiment
a movement phrase that . . . feels wrong!, that doesn't satisfy you, that creates disharmony in your being! Put it to music that feels like a mismatch if it helps. TEACH IT with no discussion or admission. Observe and allow the disharmony for a period of time. Then let everyone work together and see if the group can find a harmonious solution. Discuss what took place and various reactions. (Perhaps this exercise is an example of something that jars your harmonious chord!)
Escape and Inspiration
First Friday ARTScrawl is this Friday, but if you want to plan a bummel at your own leisure look over the 35 page 'ARTScrawl Guide' online or in participating galleries, then choose a gallery tour map inside and pick your own day for art inspiration.https://artscrawlabq.org/wp/2021-2022-art-guide/
