Rigidity of Fear
Stanislavsky's writings bring us back into and remind us of the wonder of our bodies. His exploration of motion continues a general push in this class to explore the beauty and power of the every day. The fantastic is very near at all times, magic and power. There is an encouragement to empower ourselves with what we have, to not feel like the answers lie elsewhere. The human experience is so strong that it affords us the ability to do absolutely anything we want. The process only requires effort and a re-connectedness. We have to move back from the distance we have created from our bodies and our minds.
The essay discusses how to undo the damage but it doesn't address how people end up the way they do. Not only their posture and their constricted way of walking but their general outlook. Is this like a subcounsious Harrison Bergeron? Is it that we have lost a context for our inner strength and run away from its power? Is it that it is not encouraged?
I also love the idea of the unbroken line that connects and is the definition of art. It's the connections between fragments which create meaning and beauty.
