Raquel + Aspen: New, fiery, passionate love. Met at a bar--->uhaul lesbian obsession

Nelly + Luna: Childlike, playing, being free, learning and relearning. Met as children on the playground+pure innocent excitement. Since growing up, they only see each other every so often, but pick up right where they left off. Skipping, twirling, swinging.

Zoe + Kiki: Lovers in turmoil, manipulation, falling in and out of each other, sticky. Work/Love balance, don't have time for each other, missing each other while with each other. Bad Timing, right person wrong time.

Ale + Nailah: Fighting, for or over (person, possession, opportunity, or general hatred). Childhood best friends; Nailah- Mean girl, school celebrity, never wrong, always plays victim, Ale's personal hell. Ale- Angel face, always picking up Nailah's pieces, moves away, developed boundaries, some insighting event leads to a physical brawl.

Aaron + maris: Love that has been lost. maris wants to fight for it, Aaron has already checked out. Been married for years, three children who have left the nest already. A-aloof, avoidant, beautiful. m- wants to rekindle. There was no bad, just a fade to gray. This might be the end. This might be the beginning.

A practice from Bill T. Jones, with motivation and task inspired by Ralph Lemon's How Can You Stay in the House All Day and Not Go Anywhere?

Playing with the feeling of intoxication and inebriation.

Drunk in Love, High on Life, Drunk with Rage

How do you feel when you’re drunk?

-bold, stuttering, repeating things, have to move, tunnel vision, clumsy

Where do you feel it?

-In my Ls and Bs, cheeks, fingers, knees, chest

The Practice:

Round 1. Begin improvisational movement following your first impulse… just move allowing your body to do what it does. Think about similarities to drunkenness and intoxication-- the veil that falls that removes second guesses or forethought. Go with your flow and notice how you repeat, slow down, and where your mindfulness goes as you try and leave it behind.

Round 2. Actively ignore your 1st impulse. Continue movement but refuse to follow your first impulse and execute your second impulse. Think about what you might do or what you have done before, and choose the second option. Tie in intoxication. Find and play with that struggle between choosing not to act and the loss of self-control.

Findings
Freedom, ecstasy, and pleasure in round 1. Careful with myself. Less repetition than round 2. Stuttering, freezing, getting stuck in round 2, thinking and not thinking and moving after not moving. Felt a warming up in my body and my mind.
