Charmaine Chan - Loop

PART 1B – JOURNALING (LOOP)

POINT 1:

I played with the shapes ‘ x x o ‘ . and lots of sandwiching wherever space was granted.

 

POINT 2:
I had painted an image of my body when immersed in a meditative flow state (what we learnt as dreamy / surreal feels). I was a tiny undying flame. So I moved accordingly to how I allow myself to be. Starting from just tapping / light bouncing around all contact points of my feet, gradually moving into sweeps as I take the morning wind in.. As I get more synced into the rhythm, I started exploring more contact points between my limbs and floor, just to feel how it feels to land on diff parts of the limb. I was looking for the unfamiliar sensation here , and welcoming it as it comes..

 

POINT 3:
I am still nursing a back whiplash from my pole dismounting, so it is challenging for me to be confident enough to roll on the floor on my back as much as I would love to.. but I could also release the same tensions, doing just what I tried here, lots of pushing into my hips, a lot of “micro writhe” I call -  really love how I can ease tension in many many different small ways, to me that’s the most important part of my flow journey. It’s truly all about using the floor as a tool! And we make shapes , love, art out of it. ;)))

 

POINT 4:
Well, SLOW DOWN. > , < !!!!! haha

 

POINT 5:
I’ve tried using this same shapes x x o, and sandwiching wherever space allows me – but on my pole during one of my dance practices, I’ve tried using a much faster pace track to push myself to see what comes out of, and I Loved it.  Marlo’s FFTT definitely unlocked my flow.
