Clear Moon

I looked up to the sky and I saw the moon.
It was so bright and clear.
This is the end of September, the middle of Autumn.

The space inbetween my legs

I remembered when I was in APA, my teacher Rosalind Newman always reminded me to aware the space between my legs. Apparently, I didn't understand, I just realized that I had to use my inner thigh.

John Jasperes was the guest teacher of last week. He was ex-dancer of Trisha Brown. In his class, we used a lot of time to investigate how to "move". Instead of thinking to move our body parts, we tried to think the relationship between the bones of different body parts. Every move was led by the initiate by different bones. I liked he always reminded us to aware the spaces between bones. I felt more fluidity and spacious in my body when I was thinking the "space". Though, the "space" from John was different from the "space" from Rosalind, but there was an exercise made me understood the "space" from Rosalind. I wan in a pose of big launch, front leg bended and back leg stretched. I had to stretch my front leg and flat back until I could touch the floor. It was hard to hold the balance. When I struggled with the balance, I found that if I "used" the space between my inner thigh, it helped me to use my inner thigh, in order to help me balance.

As I said before, my reaction always retarded. A tip from Roaslind when I was degree 1, and I just understood last week. It's slow, but never too late.

The mushroom

This mushroom has grown in our bathroom, how come?...eew.

Blow-

There is a term called "blow-water" in Cantonese, which means casual dialogue, talking without any objective. I've been thinking a lot about communication, and I felt disable to "talk" with others, especially when I have to use the language that I'm not familiar with, so, I started to seek other form of communication. This video was something silly image that came up in my mind one day. Instead of "blowing water", we used blow-out to talk... haha, still "blowing" something... but may be more meaningful than we use language to talk.

Stepping forward slowly

花了兩年時間去學怎樣「放手」。過程很慢。當以為做到了，卻又發現原來自己在兜圈，行十步退五步．．．雖然慢，但我相信我在向前走。

Better motion of stop motion

I think this version is making more sense, if we really need to make a stop motion video from what we've done in class.
Yes, I love perfect.

Stop motion, but not in motion.

How can you called that stop motion, teacher?

Controlling the pedal

I was learning how to control the pedal for two different things in three days. But they both related to speed.

On wednesday, I re-started learning driving. I needed to use my right foot to control the pedal of the brake and the gas. It was not easy to keep the driving and stop smoothly.

Today, I started to learn wheel throwing ceramic. There were two types of machine. I'm short, so I needed to use the electronic one. It was smaller, the spinning speed of the turn table was also controlled by the pedal.

Timeless

After my first dance class in my life, I told myself: "It was super fun, I love it, I want to do more." Today, I told myself the same thing, after the wheel throwing ceramic class.

Though it was the first time to learn wheel throwing ceramic, the feeling was so familiar. Just like used the sewing machine, I needed to use my right foot and my hands at the same time.

Looked at the turn table spinning, looked at the clay transforming, I lost the sense of time. My mind was so quiet and peaceful. No other thoughts, but moulding the clay.

Time

時間一直走，一路向前，一直走。就算我趕不上，時間也一直走；就算我停下來，時間也繼續走。
時間一直向前走，我卻在某個過去的時空停了下來。被迫與時間一起前進的，只是我的軀殼，並不是我。
我身處現在，卻活在某個過去的時空。身心同時感受著現在與過去，用著現在的時間，同時面對著兩個時空所發生的時情。現在的時間有限，過去的卻越積越多。
時間一直走，永不回頭。我用著現在的時間，於過去的時空活了好一陣子，現在的我與我身處的時空越來越遠。我用著現在的間，從過去的時空大步大步的向著現在的我追趕著。時間一直向前走，我也要向前走。
