WARM-UP FOR DIALOGUE

 

Everything here is open to an interpretation.

Whenever you are in space, close your eyes for a moment, whatever this can mean to you.

Listen to the space. Is there a dialogue already going on?

Is the air having a conversation with your neck’s skin?
Is the floor negotiating balance with your weight?
Is the temperature of your belly listening to the colour of the walls?
Is the blood of the person closest to you practicing a ritual with the suspended rope?

Open your eyes if doing so makes sense to you.

Change position in space.

Have the relations changed?
How is a different perspective shaping your perception?

You can close your eyes again.

Listen to the space. Is there a dialogue already going on?

Is the air having a conversation with your neck’s skin?
Is the floor negotiating balance with your weight?
Is the temperature of your belly listening to the colour of the walls?
Is the blood of the person closest to you practicing a ritual with the suspended rope?

 

How is the repetition shaping the attention?
Has the dialogue changed?

Open your eyes if they were closed.

 

Choose a focus in the room. A rope, a wall, a sock, a finger, a paper, whatever you want.

Listen.
What is the silence saying?
Is there an exchange in place?

Is attention present?

If you feel so, move closer to whatever you are having a conversation with.

Listen to the boundaries.
Negotiate the distance.

What are the power dynamics on? Are they static? Or are they fluid?

Change position in space.

What does a new perspective say?
What emotions, what textures, what words, what speeds are present?

 

What are you having a conversation with?
Slowly, let the conversation open to the possibility of other participants, other surfaces, other objects, other languages.

Listen to your boundaries. Take care of them. Listen to the other’s boundaries.
The dialogue has started.
