Adriano

  1. IMPRESSION
    I had the feeling that I was in a dance workshop back on my days of choreografy student

  2. NAMING

    • the desire to transform your own tools
    • the desire to connect with others
    • the awareness of how we function as a social animals (I care a lot about this)
    • the intention of interact and even hack this mechanism (also this one, these two I think are part of my reseach)
    • the work inscribes itself in contemporary dance that is a frame that has build a specific relationship with body and movement. This tradition can be traced in the movement and the body that is generated through the improvisation

  3. OPINION
    In my opinion I feel the lack of some specificity in the research, for me it was a little bit too general. I mirroring myself because this happens to me all the time. I find hard to go from a general interest to something more specific that troubles me in a some way and not in other.

  4. OPINION
    I think that this worked for Adriano as a way to introduce us to his practice, he achieved to share his tools with us and to make clear where are his questions at this moment.

Kasia

  1. IMPRESSION
    I had the impression of being in a meeting of a personal/intimate museum and listen to the curator talking about her curatorial process

  2. NAMING

    • a collection of images
    • personal impressions
    • a personal system to categorize images
    • constellations
    • the impulse to make associations
    • feelings/affects

  3. OPINION
    For me it worked very well, I could feel the moment when the research is, the parts that are clear, and the ones that don't. I also think that the system that Kasia created is a good beginning to understand her relationship wth images, and to try to answer her questions.

  4. OPINION
    I think that the presentation worked for Kasia also. The images that she asked can bring complexity to her practice, since she is not anymore the only one who will choose them.

Muslin

  1. IMPRESSION
    I had the impression again (as many times before) of being in the middle of a spontaneus choreography where I am a performer and an audience at the same time.

  2. NAMING

    • touching
    • fabrics
    • memories
    • confessions
    • a booklet, something between a narration and script
    • two things happening at the same time: the reading and the fitting session.

  3. OPINION
    For me it worked very well, I liked a lot these two things happening, it was like two different worlds, parallel worlds that emerges and coexits. There is also something abour intimacy that appeared and I liked a lot. The intimacy of being touched but not in a romantic way. And also the intimacy of read someone else memories that can be connected with my own memories.

  4. OPINION
    Till now I don't fully understand Muslin research. I think that they have a lot of interests that I found very legitime, and I also think that they are trying to connect all these heterogeneous topics. I think that the presentation worked as a device to put many of this things together. In this sense I think that the execise worked very well.

MAGDA

  1. IMPRESSION
    First I had the impression of being in a movement research class, with a visualization of my anatomy and relating this with my imagination. Then, when we changed the place and began with the exploration with plants, I had the feeling of being in a spontaneous performance related with the rythm of plants in opposition of our human being rythm.

  2. NAMING

    • imagination and bodies
    • meditation
    • different kinds of material
    • reset the attention
    • different rythms

  3. OPINION
    I think that the exercise with the plants was a good way to try out a relationship that Magda cares about.I think is a very complex topic. I feel my own research reflected by Magda's work, and I know that work with this relationship with materiality is something that needs to go very deep in order to find a connection that could be display.

  4. OPINION
    I think that Magda tries to achieved in 60min something that is very complex and not so easy to achieve. I know that this kind of explorations take a lot of time to arrive a place where things start to make sense. So, I think that what she shared with us it was only a hint of the research-

DEBORAH

  1. IMPRESSION
    It was like being on someone else head. In this sense, there was a lot of things that I couldn't connect with, but on the other hand, there was many things that felt very familiar to me.

  2. NAMING

    • human relationships
    • love
    • trust
    • trip
    • sex
    • intimacy
    • rhizomatic structure

  3. OPINION
    I can connect very well with how Deborah structures the text. I have done a similar exercise (write a 'main' text with many footnotes that connect with something more intimate). I like the idea to open all these spaces that can work as a detour from the main road. But the device doesn't work for me. I got lost very easily. I wonder what kind of device will be better for all what we hear?

  4. OPINION
    I think that the exercise works with a lot of materials that are very personal and in a way intimate. In this sense, I wonder how can Deborah guide us to her world, without loosing her world but opening a space for us?

Lucia and Piero

  1. IMPRESSION
    When Piero began to read, first thing I felt was that the rythm of reading itself was establishing something that I couldn's name at that point. Later, when the text began to change I could feel that the time that L&P took to build the text was important. At the beginning of the exercise I had a very blurry felling of what was going on, but slowly everything began to make sense. I liked this a lot, that the 'meaning' of the action appears step by step. Is built.

  2. NAMING

    • words
    • intimacy
    • whispering
    • construction
    • transformation
    • time as an agent
    • nature
    • two bodies, many voices
    • co-authorship

  3. OPINION
    I observed that when you take the time to build something, you allow the transformation that comes later to be meaningful. It was nice to listen to the very slowly transformation of the text. And to acknowledge that this was happening with the collaboration of a group. For me this works very well. L&P open a personal world but they share this world with us, and they allow us to transform this world.

  4. OPINION
    I think that the exercise work very well for L&P, it's super clear what they are looking for with the device. Also, the device itself make a bridge between us and them. I think they are looking for this connection.

Rui

  1. IMPRESSION
    For me it was like a being in the rehearsal/shooting scene, like being part of the making-of

  2. NAMING

    • raw material
    • questions
    • methodology
    • wishes
    • To know what I want but not know how to get it (I don't know what I want but I know how to get it)

Diego

  1. IMPRESSION
    It was like trying to engage with a task that the middle of the group didn't feel like/wanted or understand hpw to engage with-

  2. NAMING

    • A social problem
    • questions
    • games
    • the request to design a game to address a specific problematic
    • different contexts, backgrounds, desires, feelings, perspectives
    • different bodies and ways to engage wuth a task

  3. OPINION
    I connect myself with Diego's research in this point: how to make the other engage in my own practice or with my own questions? I think that the task worked for me because the situation that Diego displayed is familiar to me. Also I know some practice called "teatro del oprimido" that I think Diego knows very well.

  4. OPINION
    I think that Diego wanted to collect some tools that could help him to design his game, in this sense, I think that the situation/thematic that he proposed was not easy to engage with for some of the participants. In that sense I think that It would be better to bring a thematic closer to the participants

Chloé

  1. IMPRESSION
    It was like a watch something between a rehearsal and a dance class. At some moments, when Chloé was speaking while she was moving it reminded me the voice of teacher during a dance class.

  2. NAMING

    • dance movements
    • words
    • speech

  3. OPINION
    For me there was a lot of tautology, and I wonder where is the space between the differents materials that Chloé brought to the research: movement, words, voice.

  4. OPINION
    I think that she was to try out the different constellations that she has found. In this sense to put one after each other in a sequence can bring her useful information about what kind of materials se is founding.
