Moving toward the still act.

Waking-up is the threshold between waking and sleeping; in these thresholds there is this turning point and we decide whether to follow habitual action or improvise.

This is how the choreographic object works. […] You half turn your attention to the quality of ‘having fun’ and before you know it, your posture has shifted. You’re tending toward the fun. This movement-with becomes the initiating gesture toward the time of the event the choreographic object proposes. […] When an object no longer seems to be quite what you thought it was and the experience of time no longer feels as linear, it’s because the event is beginning to take over. No longer as concerned with your ‘self’, you are now experiencing the potential of the future mixed in with the resonance of the past: a futurity of pastness in the present. Play. (Manning, 5)
This experience is spacious: it takes us into the time-slip of the event. This speciousness has a quality of fabulation: it enervates us toward the paradox of time and incites us to invent with time. [7] Choreographic objects draw us into this speciousness by infiltrating our experience with the verge of this doubling [….] they exist in the between of a proposition and its eventness, inciting the participant to invent through them, to move with [….] Choreographic objects draw out this paradox of the linearity of measured time versus the duration of experiential time. “The practically cognized present is no knife-edge, but a saddle-back, with a certain breadth of its own on which we sit perched, and from which we look in two directions into time” (James, 1890: 609). (Manning, 6)

wanting to choreograph movement without the movement

-embracing the background movement- not wanting to tune out movement that does “not matter”, but matterings happen in conversation with the movement-scape

-embracing these movements that give me pause

slowing down and yielding in relation to listening from a disorienting perspective

entwines movement within the  particular place

to study movement means to attend to the background movement not as something to be tuned out or dismissed

-movement that move the body, refusing to stay still, create productive tensions between the body the context and the listener inherent in the negotiation of meaning.

Touch:
p. 89 politics of touch
The normative aspect of touch is constrained to an ontologization of touch where “I touch you” inscribes “I” and “you” as forms of Being rather than becoming. On the other hand, touch as a concept that implies a toward is not ontological but ontogenetic. Reaching-toward, qualitative changes are expressed in and through the bodies in relation. These are qualities of movement rather than properties of Being. Touch as a reaching toward is not a question of Being. It is a question of becoming. Ontogenetic, touch is incorporeal, it is always beyond its -self, equal to its emergence

Politics of touch
UMHEIMLICH (strange, uncanny, homeless)
quality of unknowability
within the unheimlich quality of unknowability we sense a politics of touch where it is not visible who leads and who follows…p. 43 politics of touch
a friendship to come, an uncanny and strange friendship that dos not bind them as individuals but instead allows them to sense one another, to listen, to feel to make contact
-a friendship of potential, a modification of space-time, a movement that evokes the in betweeness that are bodies in motion

p. 44. Sensation

p. 59 Touch crosses space time via the body, creating a becoming-body while establishing diverse relations with all that surrounds our bodies. The desire to cross space- to touch an other is a desire in movement as well as a movement of desire.This investment of desire re-signifies the space that separates me from you, awakening my body to the different sensations your body evokes in me

  3. I simply want to mention I am all new to blogging and site-building and absolutely savored your page. Most likely I’m planning to bookmark your website . You certainly have fabulous posts. Thank you for sharing your web site.

  5. I seriously love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme.
    Did you create this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m
    trying to create my very own blog and would like to learn where you got this from or what the theme is called.
    Many thanks!

  9. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is
    now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  13. Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude!

    Thank you so much, However I am experiencing difficulties with
    your RSS. I don’t understand why I am unable to subscribe to it.
    Is there anyone else having the same RSS problems?
    Anyone who knows the answer will you kindly
    respond? Thanks!!

  14. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    topic to be really something which I think I would never
    understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  15. My partner and I stumbled over here different web address and thought I should check
    things out. I like what I see so i am just following you.

    Look forward to looking at your web page yet again.

  17. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal.
    I must say you’ve done a amazing job with this.

    Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Opera.
    Superb Blog!

  19. Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise
    so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  20. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  23. Can I just say what a relief to uncover someone who genuinely knows what
    they’re talking about on the web. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    More people have to check this out and understand this side of the story.

    It’s surprising you aren’t more popular given that you certainly have the gift.

  25. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  27. Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  31. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
