Voice, Motion & Mind
Every breath we take connects us to the body and vice versa, yet most of the time we lack that awareness. Our breath manages our lives and how we move in this world. To pay attention to breath is to bring your attention back to your body, the fragility, dignity and wonder of your being. To improvise is to bring your attention back to this unity, to find the balance between awareness and attention and to craft the extension of the self into expression. We are improvising all the time but rarely are we aware of our movements, how we depend upon our breath to enact them and how each and every action is synchronized with the three-part cycle of in, out and pause. Once we attune to this cycle, we gain the ability to cast spells with our movements, voices and words. Once we become aware of how our brains create our minds, and how our thought process constantly produces dictations, recognitions, projections, predictions, then we can shift our internal stories. We can generate vocal expression by connecting breath with movement, we can connect voice with breath, we can connect language with voice. We can find unity with body, breath,voice and language.
