Allen, i like the way you've written this:
>he was experiencing great difficulty breathing properly because of
>Paxton's capacity to be intimate at a distance
>because of his ability to bring about a reciprocity or rapore betwen
>himself as dancer and the others in the experience space
that intimacy at a distance interests me greatly.
I'm thinking also of Min Tanaka and his body-weather Lab in Japan.
I think you might have been there when he improvised for an
hour or so in a wind tunnel with Steve Lacy? Bhutto attention without
its sometimes mawkish theatricality. Skin dancing projections.
Breath as extension of presence.
I'm curious too about this issue of discomfort with intimacy.
Poetry is a physical engagement.
>and did you cris already mention Mabel Todd's _Thinking Body_
no but she's terrific. Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen's 'body-mind
centering' project, whilst tending the 'growth' movement
hanging-baskets a touch too closely for my liking, is aLso
interesting work.
I did watch 'La Haine', yes - that thunderous cutting, sound
and space. Physical edit. Exhausting and energising at once.
Closed-circuit TV, not just close-circuit. TRaps indeed.
Wanna get together, for a day, in the next couple of weeks and tramp up
to Havod?
love and love
cris
