Imitate the movements of people & objects near you. Try to reframe each move (e.g. take only the tiniest bit, 1 gesture) from each thing moving on to the next. Ideal: surrender into constant & fluid flow of info coming in & movement happening so your dance/move becomes its own coherent collage.
Sacred Group Organism Pilgrimage: Begin after already being sufficiently grounded in the wholesome delight of the Cascade P-Patch, connected to yourselves & each Other, Improvise as individual and collective sound-and-movement bodies, very gradually migrating to the fence surrounding the [All Rise] sculpture, Throughout, engage in generous poetic expression & deep environmental listening
