NOTES - What's story you want to tell?

- Feel the weight of the phone
- Everyone phone has their own personality
- Another being as a live - everything
Task 1:
Feel the weight of your phone
Feel your partner
Aware of your another screen
Reflections:
- 之前与电话互动时，真的觉这个partner很fragile, 很多时候会有战战兢兢的感觉，一直会把它影响，找不到 space in-between。我自己会 relate当时的状况，有很多事要处理！
- 跟之前比较，头脑清空了许多，少了那种负担，有更多玩的性质，以及更加连接。
- 这个partner 不再是我自己的想象的那么的脆弱,而且很好玩！
- 可以与它比较连接，有时会是它带领我，有时我会challenge它。
- 之前自己会逃避“看”它，所以现在我会故意与它的视线连接！
- 比较有觉知的去探索我们两个之间空间，偶尔我会注视到screen 里面的我们，去scan 我们两个人！ 进进出出，看到的是我还是不我？
“转化了脆弱，
允许玩来引领；
圆与圆的链接，
寻找重叠的区域，
内外内外，
是我不是我；
不是你也是你！”
BODY SCAN Exercise - body scan without story - how to be present in the body - just focus on sensation not emotion
- sharing "NOW" - practicing not to tell the story, so we can be more present
- if you want to tell, you have the choice to see if you want to attach it ot not
Reflections:
- 我们的意识很多时候是在 crown
- 当我 scan的时候，从头到某个stuck的点，我又会回到crown，所以当时只是到腰部。
- 整个感觉是upper body很重/melting/很有gravity, 而lower body part 比较漂/轻
- 分享的时候，在找balancing in between upper and lower, more grounded
- 当 scan 眼珠时感觉它在里面滚动.
TASK 2
- Creating a tempo in your film - recording the movement in a different way
- Try to find the relationship in between two partners -
- focus on the weight
- see what's the camera see
- imagine the camera is touching your camera
- like a real partner
- HOW TO FEEL YOUR PARTNER?
Reflections:
- 有时我们是一起探索，一起看
- 有时时它看我、抚摸，触动我
- 之前没有太 care partner 看到的世界，之后开始觉知的的时候，“我们”会一起决定要看的速度，比较肯定这个 capture.
- 到底你看到的是什么？是看到的是跟我的一样吗？
- 看了video 之后，很奇妙的感觉是我自己的没有在动
HOMEWORK
