Page 13 - the foreign language of motion

The page performs the process: choreographing journal notes
After an extended period of writing, editing, experimenting with book design and developing choreographic material in collaboration with these texts, I sit at my desk with the kinesthetic archive book and consider what I have done, in the form of a list.
this book is :
an attempt
a following
a tracking
a listening
an attending
an articulation
a partial archive of movement an experiment in documentation an interactive object
activated by touch and sight
a refined presentation of selected journal notes
a form of translation
a form of transliteration
an event
a response
a product of two years of sustained dance practice
this book is not :
a representation
a description
a duck or animal (or other obvious thing that it is not such as an umbrella or cake)
a substitution for dancing
involved in killing or otherwise maiming any of the dance ideas that initiated it
