Thoughts and Ideas 3/20
CONVERSATION Starter
"Better late than never" or better never than late? In which category do you want to belong? Is something holding you back? Time? Timing? Money? Skills? Or is it focus, do you need to make the idea you keep putting off a priority? Discuss.
Creative Experiment
Harder - Take a piece of paper or another object to represent a task you plan to do. Now, in as many ways as possible, don't get to the task. Dance around it. With or without fellow dancers, choreographically create distractions, unending preparations, comparisons, physical obstacles, etc. Expand on the concept. Reflect and discuss the experience. Easier - Alternatively pick a movement to do, i.e circling an arm. Plan and create accumulating preceding movement, never getting to 'the one'. How long can you keep it up? Reflect. Then DO the movement.
