The simple act of moving
Considering yourself and your relationship with the world
Attending the St Albans Writers Festival last weekend, I was intrigued by one of the books presented. In The Simple Act of Reading, Debra Adelaide has collected and edited contributions from well-known writers about aspects of reading that they have found meaningful. She notes that the "collection is not necessarily about the books we read and continue to read, but how. How reading forges mysterious and vital pathways through our brains ... how it nurtures enquiry, curiosity and engagement with worlds outside of ourselves."
Considering the simple act of reading, resonated because, of course, considering the simple act of moving is my way of learning about myself and of encountering the world. So to begin ... what movement memories do you treasure from childhood?
Come to class this term to delve into your movement memory; to re-member, recover and re-create yourself. |
