Robert Clark Day 2

We begin with warm up. Drawing attention to fluidity, softness, the spine, mouth, breath, length, articulation of the body (joints), sense of weight into the ground.  Allowing the contact work to  become a proposal through space.  Considering what it takes to work with another, overcoming resistance, balance...

The second part of the session is dedicated to the process of research.  Robert shares his new proposals on 'happiness'.  The first tasks are verbal, we talk, we share thoughts of what it is, looking not just for the words, but what happens to us in the process of reflection, of 'telling', of listening, speaking on behalf of the other, the responsibility of mediating, the difficulty.

Two words surface:   PROPOSALS and PROVOCATIONS.  He leaves us with the task of reflecting on the 'transition into something we can work on'.
