Choices-habits

We will start by analyzing and positioning ourselves, our bodies in space-time, asking and dicussing how we make choices –in certain contexts, circumstances- and what are those choices. What we would not choose can be our authentic choice, like how what we choose can be habitual, learned, unconcious. By seeing what actions we make we will start adding unfamiliar ones.

This is close to “embodying someone else’s body”. But more interesting is –similar but different- “visiting someone else’s body”.

Working on those “what yes” “what not” we will also try to look for if we can create non-represantional situations with physical, mental and intiuitive participation, risk taking and mutual support.
