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:5
Density:6
Energy Level:8
Speed:6

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the MB?
Cloud cover is a treat. Still trying to refine the movements, not to much time or space for observation of the body. Breaks in rythymn still throw me. A movement repeated is managable but a change in direction from forward to back, inside jump to outside jump can create chaos.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Manipulations?
Worked with Devi, ease of familiarity.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Ground Work?
Need to learn to be still and respond to imput. I always want to lead even when I'm required to follow. I want adventure constantly and don't always find it in the small. I have a better sense of speed. Watching the Aboriginal women artists walk I had a very different sense of what slow might be. They were so incredibly measured and when they sat they were so incredibly still and when they painted again they were incredibly measured but the image grew with suprising speed. The paintings are beautiful.

What are your main observations and/or experiences of the whole day?
People leaving and new people arriving is vaguely unsettling. I feel a little territorial. At the same time new energy is good breaking up the patterns and dynamics that are forming in this community. There are more artists and writers and other people present now which is interesting adding new dimensions and ideas.
