Bodiverse: Refocused

Thanks to feedback, I realized that original brainstorming list required a lifetime of work. So I am allowing myself to take a lifetime to process it. In the meantime, I set new parameters for the beginning, which is now.

Here is that outline:



Body Poem-refocused
Language/Text/Body/Film/Performance/Movement



Works to Research:

Imaging Her Erotics by Carolee Schneemann
Various texts on the body (in personal library but in storage until 2/17)
Various texts on performance art (“)
http://www.caroleeschneemann.com/index.html
“A Different Kind of Intimacy” by Karen Finley
My personal body history


Means:

Each day make a freeform list.
Choose one list to cut and paste to my body each week.
Go into studio for 1 hour and move with this list on my body.
Videotape (need to buy a digital camcorder for JDT project anyway)
Record thoughts before and after with voice recorder.
Create daily(?) body sketches. Sketch the world/self into the body.
Photograph? Do I invite someone into the process? Or select stills from the video – yes.
Montage into final project.


Free body explorations-
Areas of pain, holding, freedom, comfort.
Do I rehearse the same time/day each week, or vary it. I prefer late morning to evening. Why?
