Non narrative/non linear I like but I am still interested to see what the journey is that you wish to take your young audience member on. What would be the arc of that experience - how much or little cognition does the experience require of its audience?

Michael: Children will be interested in the power of performance, two adults dancing will be interesting, they are also interested in narrative, but we can hold their interest without it

If the language is too complex or the wording too long children will disconnect: they don't have the same references readily available, keeping things as simple as they possibly can be is key.

We don’t know who we are, who we are to one another, and to them (audience).
What is the intention behind what we do? What fuels it?
Maybe sometimes we’ll be part of an organism. Our bodies create complex organisms that need our blending or attaching with one another to exist.
A flock of animals other times.
We are there to create illusions together and use our bodies to that end.
Creation of images and contemplation, the body as flesh.
When we are not in contemplating mood, what are we? Who are we?

Right/wrong. Right/left.

Wrong being perhaps too severe. Other wrongs eg. Terrifically wrong. Beautifully wrong, deliciously wrong, etc. etc. were considered.
What implications being wrong holds for children: Punishment, no TV, no choc etc. Therefore being wrong typically holds added weight in a child's world with little control.

Games children make have strange new rules which are both extremely important and likely to change in an instant. Other children must go by these rules or they are getting it wrong and will be excluded.  Off shoot variant games grow from this with each child making their own version of the game, with their set of rules. Can be likened to Henry VIII altering the rules of religion, or Larry David wanting to change the rules of waiting rooms to suit his whims.

"Right" and "left" as leading movement/dance. The body split down the middle. Improvisation by Eva and Lola  brought up themes and thoughts of:

Rules of dance/games.
What children understand dance to be. What are the limits or borders of dance? Similar to Spag Club showing children advanced forms of poetry typically held back for adults. What movement isn't dance to children? Does dance have to be graceful to children? Or the opposite?
Dancing when music stops.
Children's gestures in the playground.

It was stated the work ought to be not directly educational, or narrative based.

We considered the time children can focus for when watching dance. Should Eva and Lola break up a series of dances to maintain the children's interest?

Sentences or words spark whole improvisational dances which then create text and so on, back and forth. Text with multiple meanings like "Let's go then" (starting point or a goodbye) are good for exploration.

Eva pointed out children spend lots of time negotiating when they arrive somewhere. This can frustrate adults who would think the time is best spent playing straight away.

We wrote boring sentences. We wrote interesting sentence based on movement. And we wrote about movements we remember doing as children.

Lola and Eva need to have a story of their own each, so even if they follow or copy, they have their own reason to do so. So one is not totally passive/follower, somehow each has her own dramaturgy. Even if I am silent and the other one is speaking and doing, my silence is active, my passivity is an active stillness. Somehow I am busy with my own thoughts or ideas or invisible activity.

The dance in which Eva leans against Lola creates positions for Eva which are otherwise impossible or she would fall. We can imagine an image of Eva without the "stand" so she is leaning in space impossibly. (Can be imagined as a joint image, (1) with Lola (2) with Lola removed in Photoshop. These positions can be pushed further.
