Walking our bodies

 

Shifting the whole time

As if you couldn’t walk straight 

But you always had to look 

Behind you 

On the side

How everyone is moving

How we move together

As a group

 

The hierarchy of power 

Inside the group

It seems like there’s no

Suddenly someone take the lead 

Decide where to go

 

Trusting the others

More than my eyes

 

In your hands

 

How bold we were as a group but also very

Careful for each other

 

When we were on unknown territory 

We were much closer

And in the moment 

We got orientation again 

We spread out again

 

An entity 

Together

 

Then we were in pitch black standing 

Still 

Together

 

The stopping was more organic than 

The starting

The stopping sort of made sense

The starting was more a personal urge from 

Someone

 

A lot of leading

Almost like never get to stand 

Still

A moment on the street

Some people started to walk 

Others started to walk in the other direction

Expecting the other group to 

Stop

But they kept on walking until…

 

Democracy of majority

 

Later in the forest it was the opposite

Lot of people went and then some stopped and then everyone came back

 

When it was really dark 

We couldn’t rely on sight 

We were more curious 

As soon as there was lot of light

We got to a sort of 

Stillness

As if the light was stopping 

Us

 

We went to get away 

From the light

And when I saw 

Light again 

I didn’t want to go back in

 

There was this moment

Undecided

Should we go back

Should we go further

 

When you two came

We waited

Someone decided

 

The light was a

Mazing on the trees

 

The highway

You would see nothing 

Hear nothing 

If you go that direction

But we did not dare to explore 

The abysse of absolute darkness 

And not hearing anything

I also don’t want

To go there

This scary thing

Are we really

Wanna go

 

Many moments about desire

Group desire

It goes

Then comes back

We have to be 

Together

 

Weird things around here

When someone discovered something

Someone is drawn there

Suddenly everyone else is 

Following 

 

Then you hear the materials

Everywhere

Everyone 

Is scanning the space

 

Lots of noise

What is this

 

We were stuck here

We came back

 

It’s true

 

This light travelling on the trees

We stopped but the movement of light came

Shadow play

Bringing movement 

When we stop to move

Still moment

 

Different kinds of sounds

Sssssssssss

Different textures of the ground

Sssssssssss

 

Enjoyed

Not to talk

 

Concentrate on your body 

How you breath

This is not happening

I am not concentrating on myself 

At all

 

Vanished

 

The group

The form was defined by the path

Showing through the body

That there is something

You have to be careful of

 

Learning more and more 

How to move in the darkness

My arms in front of my eyes

 

Stopped to look ahead 

Just following

Not think about where are you going

Just cross

Whatever would be there

 

Liberating

 

Surprised

It was almost an hour

 

I realised the time was passing 

Because I was feeling 

Warmer

 

Where does your attention move

What does it follow

 

Breathing 

Heating up the body

Brings back to your body

Signs 

Brings you back

A branch

 

The feet feeling the way around

The path

Things that I thought were

Rocks were leaves

Leaves were rocks

 

Our head was

Our feet

 

Upper body more

Relaxed

Than usual

Was not the one 

Giving 

The direction

Knees and feet

Giving

 

Soaking

Depth

You don’t know where it 

Ends

 

Fresh snow

 

The sensation of my legs

Guiding me

Good 

For the body

 

What there is

What ever there is

I will not die

Fine

 

The opposite

Already don’t trust

My foot

At all

 

What is in front

Is the past

The future is behind

 

What you can see

Cannot see

Relation to

Time through the body

 

How we go into the 

Future

Feel 

All this body

Where we go

Where we move

Direction 

It’s changing

Each time it’s     changing

 

Extensions

Of my body

High platform shoes

Protecting

Defense

Glasses

Shield of protection

 

Optical illusions

Just passed through

 

We are also one body

Also

This other body

It’s not either or

Also

Not a

Coherent

 

Some wanted to go

Some to stay

Anti-body within the body

Like a failing organ

 

Trust

Let them go

We seize each other

Stretch

 

Belonging

 

In the moment we feel safer

Let the rest of the body go

Explore
