Watching

another packed day - 3 classes

much head reshaping around some good short stories (Al Kennedy - this man - and Alice Munroe - friend of my youth), looking at expression as exemplified by dance (Pina Bausch - dance or we are lost, what moves you?) and exploring black radical theories around time. Time as a sound resonating through our lives, the highs, lows, repetitions - a music like Jazz (or so the poet Fred Moten was arguing). A recognition that is isn't preordered or the end result, but the motion of the journey, attention the past, differentiation of the future. What do you want your music to be? Some time to figure it out might be the pause before you begin, the downbeat before the pick up. The anacrusis (a big word I learnt today).
