How did you gauge your body as an average on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being very low, 10 being very high) in terms of the following parameters during the day:-
Temperature Range:6.5
Density: epending on parameters I cannot escape. 0 during Christines' work
Energy Level:7
Speed:same as density, slowed down by machinery imposed today.


What are your main observations and/or experiences from the MB?
Struggle with independency or enhancement by the presence of camera (video and still). Hate posing attitudes, tend to disappear instead, preferably. Disappointment by my disability to finish a line no matter if a lense is pointed right into my face and onto my foot-work. Not to blame the camera-people, it's more of a general attitude which easily gets taken on. Interesting if a trickster function takes the shit out of this, by encompassing it with a f...-you I'm going for even more attitude. (Michael Jackson?) Stays scary no matter what.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Manipulations?
Cameras luckily stayed clear.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Ground Work?
Slow movement work of a 360degrees rotation fed very well into Christines' work about audio-perception and it's means of getting rid of ones' focus to inside tragedies. Felt a huge amout of relief and essence in the work proposed. Fed by the experiences of the last couple of weeks. It didn't need to stand for itself, but could no matter what. Working a bit with Robyn Davidson, instead of stories a listening, about did me in. It was fantastically beautiful and I shall not forget this anymore. Bodies in the landscape. Exact experience of the distance of sounds surounding and their place within and without of my body. Found the first real inner landscape for 5min while hardly moving blindfolded. Great witnesses, Emily, Lisa and Robyn! Remember: "Ears like elastic trumpets" (not on my copy-right account!)

What are your main observations and/or experiences of the whole day?
A phrase from the book: The Fate of Place, a historical history; by Edward S.Casey: The Open Inbetween. The Inbetween Open. (as used by Heidegger) And how easily people use projections as general truths. Just an observation. I probably do too sometimes. Hope to stay as clear from it as possible. NL has been good for that. Camels.!
