A fresh new  lead

After exploring notations- how does one remember movements, choreographies…. Looking at notations and notes of dancers to see how they approach this.

How does one remember somatic discoveries?

Can i look at the stories and translate them into notational language and energy play than as dialogues?

Form and Spine and Breath

A - the form of A - push between two opposite slanting forces - and a wedge in between

That is →  THE SYMBOL OF ALPHABETS

The alphabets itself were meant to denote certain movements - movement of breath. Movement of the body - the voice apparatus. The effect etc. A truth.

K - upward and downward inclines pushing against the same vertical point at the same time. 

Ka- the first of the consonants in Indian Languages

Aa - First of the vowels

Ka- is the inhalation / the tucking in

A - is the exhalation / the unfurling

All consonants start with a sharp inhalation 

All vowels are exhalations

All inhalations are the inward tucking of the tail in the cat cow post

All exhalations are an unfurling  and releasing of the energy through the spiral.

All consonants are originate / are accentuated / have a certain root and routes along/at particular points along the spine. 

Ka - right at the tail - the very beginning of the vandanam- at the beginning of the first move forward - small inhale-tucking in-core. Unfurl the core into the long stretch.

Attention on spine - quietly with only breath enunciate Ka Cha Da Tha Pa. See where in the spine shifts and pressures are experienced

Ka Kha Ga Gha Nga --> The set makes a particular wave along the spine. So does the rest of each set. 

( At some point look up information on water/wind patterns. And what happens when they encounter pressures and obstructions.)

** the symbols in english and malayalam and hindi and even tamil can be used to give clues.

In tamil,  

Mei-ezhuthu - the body writing - consonants - where spine becomes active

Uyir-ezhuthu - breath writing - vowel- where the breath is operating alone

Ka - K - ക - क़ :Lowest spine

Cha - J / CH - ച : Swadishtana area/ lower belly

Da - D/N - ട: Solar plexus/ lower chest

Tha - T/D - ത:Heart/  upper cest

Pa - P - പ - (फ़) : Behind throat

Consonants are in the realm of action. Karm Krishna Karan Kriya kartha Kaal Kali Kaam.Physical world movements

Some where in this is where text meets the body. The truth of the text is layered over the truth of the body. Truth of the text is tested against the fundamental truth of the body.

We keep looking for it.

I leave. Closing the door quietly behind me. In gratitude. For the insights. With hope for silence and harmony, deeper understanding of Self
