Duet/Do it

words/excerpts pulled from rehearsal notes with katherine. now we are making a dance?!

Katherine and I had our third rehearsal

imagines there’s something interested and choosing

The contact was to move between our body sequentially mutual // 3 lists 

neck to Katherine’s elbow/Claire and backs connect/Claire’s elbow  ankle/connect (c to K) head to Katherine’s thigh/neck to neck/Katherine’sClaire’s/knee knee/knee/Katherine’sjaw/ Katherine’s ear to Claire’s belly/shoulder/hand arm/arm arm/hand Rib/jaw  hip

Making notice involved one person coming to land or at the other person’s.

After parceling out the phrases (referential to our approach

Head, thigh, jaw, belly ear?  The funny thing with that is that

/save for the jaw/
