𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬..𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟓: Improvising for a new solo creation.Working with a task of comfort/discomfort in one’s own skin/alien entity.When I’m improvising for creation, I still create clear tasks that are a combination of physical instructions/limitations and conceptual/imagination-based parameters. From this, a state emerges that isat first fragile and ephemeral. In order to continue work with it, I keep revisiting and tuning the task. In this way, the final outcome becomes semi-solid - clear material, but not completely fixed. Stay tuned for more about the new work..🖤#100daysofimprovisation by @elkebschroeder

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈’𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: musicality. *𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: (*Each day I’ll write a poetic reflection). Currently in a process of rehabilitation. Reflecting: when have been the times I’ve felt best qualitatively in movement practice? When I’ve been consistently improvising. Other training and taking rest has also been essential, but the types of which evolve. Firm in intention, flexible in action. Musicality as task today. Openness of possibility in improvised movement allows for more musical/physical attunement. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞!Share your videos and reflections.

@fightingmonkey_practice for a rainy day..⁣New challenge unlocked, my friends!⁣Small sticks: the double gate.⁣⁣A beautiful task. Simple and terrifying in its ability to set your mind ablaze. The regular gate rules apply: no elbows, no touching the blocks other than your holding fingers, no putting the supports together or supporting on one block, a full roll from back to back again, less fingers holding on = more challenging. ⁣⁣How do you manage pressures? How do you talk to yourself? How early can you notice the imbalance? How can you adapt appropriately to trouble? How can you spread the task throughout your body? How can you return to the task after failure?⁣⁣Good luck my loves! 💪🏼✨❤️‍🔥 by @elkebschroeder
