M – Reverie #1 Week 5

Bachelardian Reverie #1

Winter qt. wk.5

Word count:100

“Reverie Prompt:  pp 38-39, 47  Create your own reverie on the engendering of words in response to Bachelard’s reverie:  “Look out for the flamboires, little girl! Look out for the flambettes, booby!” In your experience does a romance language such as French do a “great service” by being a “passionate language” that has not wanted to  preserve a neuter gender, but rather multiplies occasions for choosing/coupling? What words, for you, “love each other?” Can you create a reverie to demonstrate words that, for you, have sexes re: the passion of your current field study?”

Oh, Fluttering feet (m. pies), bounding with ease as the

hardened ground waits to lick fallen limbs.

How the flick of the wrist may will you to come nearer

or keep your distance.

An arched swaying of lifted arms

propels my core forward as the ever fluxing gate of

flexed calves (m.terneros) and thighs (m. muslos)

send my spine (f. espina)  a-tingle passing one

another to the rhythm of my breath (f. respiracion), my

thought.

Weight shifts as a halt to steps is forced, a need for

balance leaves mind (f. mente) focused dictating each

part of me to hush.

M is for Movement

Field Study Proposal 

In these next four weeks I will be immersing myself within various forms of movement to evoke poetry. I will continue to go to the Dance Co-Op on campus as well as in downtown Olympia as well as a structured modern dance class once a week. On any off day I plan on making my way to the rock wall or swimming pool to position my body in a form of weightlessness. I plan on having a ten to hour and a half long morning yoga session in my home space all the while taking acro-yoga classes at Breathe yoga studio to become more familiar with my own body, its movements, and those movements relating to another human being. At the end of this field study I hope to become completely familiar with my own body and have a multi-media compilation of the art that was evoked by my own movement.

Winter Term Paper Abstract

During this four week field study I became engaged in numerous activities dedicated to movement.  From acrobatic yoga, to rock climbing, to ecstatic dance, I implied my found knowledge about the bodies range of motion and structure to fully understand how we move.
