Energy and Embodiment

 

Teaching Artist Jee Yun Hong joined Expanded Music in helping to explore our own embodiment as artists and human beings.  This process is closely aligned with the imagination and how we create in the moment --- improvisation.  The process also helped us explore the embodiment of community as we sense the presence and personal projection of each other. This grew into more engaging use of our expressive range as we gave ourselves to the process. 

 Gesture became a part of our naming process. Gesture was not only the shaping of space but the shaping of sound so that our names became musical gestures. Subtly even the transfer of energy to each other begun earlier was embodied in this process of naming ourselves to each other.
