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.
