04/13/11: Spring Solo Training Session #2

New videocamera this time. I don't like it as much. Video-recording feels less important this quarter, but I'm not sure why. Happy to be in the studio and excited about my plans for the material development segment of training today. Is that goal-oriented part of this practice overwhelming the prior openness of it?



Contemplative Practice (10 minutes):
• Meditated in the dark in half-lotus

Warm-up (25 minutes):
• Full warm-up sequence with playlist
(free movement, tree pose, jumping jacks, body scan, slow motion cross)
• Physical Point of Focus: My lower back

Open Training (30 minutes):
• Sang "When the River Meets the Sea" focusing on communication of song to world
• Sang "When the River Meets the Sea" into the mirror, focusing on communication to self.
• Mobilized Lower Back area, spoke about that part of my body and its history
• Sang "Dona Nobis Pacem" while opening space in lower back.

Material Development (20 minutes):
• Recorded Ethel Rosenberg poem and letter to her sons
• Moved to those soundtracks
