Excerpts from 'our practise in text'

As pre-arranged, Dani and I shared practise at the same time, between the studio in dancehouse and a car on the road to the Sunshine Coast.

Lots of brain chatter in meditation & constructive rest. Different being here by myself.

X dani

I am here. I was in bed, now standing. Late night driving mission to The city from out there where there are mountains.
Where are you up to? It feels like we are in the dark
Chay-Ya

I am now going to walk towards myself with my eyes closed from one side of the room to the other then write for 3mins
When i listen & take my time, then & only then do i complete the walk. I arrive closer to myself.
X dani

Now voice/vocalising, warming up thru focus on sound. I feel your presence on the planet.
X dani

Yes I am more here.
I walked only 2 metres in that time. Opened eyes suddenly and a fresh momentum carried me back to the start.
I will run a shallow bath and sing quietly in there

Chay-Ya

Water.
Flamenco guitar, it sounds like it is in here, though more probably a recording.
My feet have all my attention. I massage the crystals in the hard terrain of my instep.
Back on land.
Chay-Ya

Writing, evolving, aging, paging, interupting, staging, mothers & babies lost... traversing the space, cars feel like they are wooshing past my window in the dark room...

My soles are silky on the wooden staircase,
(the openess of my feet brings attention to the holding in my hip)
The verandah is hot. It feels good under me.
Chay-Ya

Strong black bitter
Liquid
Dandelion flowers are brilliant yellow, roasting their roots brings forth this coffee
What happens if you close your eyes and spin four times? Some slow some quicker?
Chay-Ya

When i spin I am the centre of the dandelion head with my roots removed
