The garden is as much a love as movement is for me (almost 😘) Hands in the soil, dirt in the nails, planting, sowing, growing, harvesting, seasonal, cyclical, functional movement. So much food can be grown in a small area of land. Food to eat. Food to nourish and sustain. Food to share. In this garden everyone does what they can, when they can, #how they can and everything is shared. The garden is a radicle act. A duet with nature and all walks of life #SmallActsOfResistance #NourishmentAndGrowth #MovingInGardens by @jpmoves__

Eva Rothschild -The Void Presses The Wall
On 'till 11th October - @fruitmarketgallery Thank-you What an invitation to explore and sense and know and feel the world through body and movement - a physical discovery
The gallery as a civic space
A place of chance encounters and unexpected combinations
I had a great chat with these two lovely young folks after our un-programmed time moving with the art-work
What are the invitations of a place
The properties of it and the properties of me
A playground for the body
Magical
Material
Catch it while you can folks
There is this and there is so much more
Visual Art made for the body
Visual Art to move with

A day of rain and rain and rain
And then a glimmer of this
In my local park, over the city
Finding magic in the moment
A big dose awe and lots of wonder
Feeling glad to be here, and grateful
Finding strength in my body
Drawing strength from the land
Feeling power in my bones

I'm not a jogger, never have been
Too repetitive and monotoned for me
But oh, the feel of a run, a sprint
a bit of speed, getting out of breath
feeling fleet of foot
Woohoo
So grateful I can still feel this at 68
And grateful that in this wee run I feel strong, capable, secure
Able to run away from danger
Able to run towards something I love
Able to run with the wind and the trees
and the leaves underfoot
Able to run to the end of the world just to see if it's possible (gorgeous lyrics Lucy Spraggan. Thank-you)
Autumn always gifts me energy
Running is joy
Running is freedom #LoveYourMoves #MoveWhenYouCanWhereYouCanAsYouCan #SmallActsOfHooeAndLament #SmallActsOfResistance by @jpmoves__

What are the invitations of a place? Breaking the 4th wall @fruitmarketgallery today
Moving with and in Eva Rothschilds glorious sensory sculptural work
Exploring possibilities and potential, the properties of it and the properties of me, the materiality of it and the materiality of me
An act of resistance and staying alive Every gallery visitor had a go
A simple seat
A pose or repose
A place of rest
A climbing up
A lying down
A touching of the roof
A full-bodied sensory exploration
A physical intelligence
Material, shape and size
The spaces in between
The substance and the air
"The Void Touches the Wall" Thank-you

This was in twitter days. That lovely wee blue bird. So much simpler and straightforward. I started posting everyday. No music only the sounds of nature. Waving sometimes. Hoping for that wee red heart of connection. Knowing everyone was okay. Duetting with nature. Now my daily practice. The love of my life. Full of meaning and purpose and value. Gifted during lockdown. Where had it been hiding all of this time #HolyroodParkEdinburgh Still hoping everyone is okay. #LookAfterYourselvesLookAfterEachOther #SmallActsOfHopeAndLament #LoveYourMoves Movement is your freedom by @jpmoves__

Ways of feeling alive and energised
Ways to keep strong and be free, soft, fluid, flowing
Movement play
Nothing fancy
Just loving the feel of the moves
The land and the weather
Touching the skin
The sand on the soles of the feet
The sounds and the textures
The smells of the seaweed and the salt
Being present
A wee moment of joy, a living, breathing channeling of the hard stuff to find the good stuff
What a privilege

Ah, the necessity of moving
Is to know the stillness
And to play, discover
To feel and sense be present and responsive
To be more alive
To let something out
To put something in
To know a place more deeply
To feel safe and strong in the body
To feel at home
This is me and two benches in a quiet park in a quiet town that I'm visiting
I like to not disturb anyone or anything around me
Except the benches of course. I'm in conversation with them and what they offer, ask and gift
A wee moment of respite from the world
A way to connect and belong
To the good things
Go well everyone

What's it all about these #DuetsWithNature and moving in my local park? Simply for me its a way of getting through, of being present, strengthening, holding, processing, connecting and belonging not only to and with the land but with all that is asked, expected and needed of being a human. And definitely not towing the line #UncoolMoves #SmallActsOfResistance #MoveWhereYouCanWhenYouCanAsYouCan #MovementImprovisation Go well everyone by @jpmoves__

#LoveYourMoves #MoveWhereYouCanWhenYouCanAsYouCan I can smell Autumn in the air and feel the energy it brings. What a privilege to move freely and fully with the rain and the great beech tree, in the park, in the city #MovementIsFreedom #SmallActsOfResistance #KeepStrongAndPliant by @jpmoves__

There are many things I could have chosen to do on a Friday night at the end of August and I chose this.
So enlivening and strength giving, mindful and present, away from it all in my local park in the city.
The strength of a rock and the strength of me. The age of a rock and the age of me
