This is what happened also this time. We were taken by it, the flow, the connection, the relation between each other between people.
In between I had time to check if we are not rushing through again, showing off what can be done. It is hard to distinguish betwen the rushing through the event and the fact that there is much more public then usual at the sessions. I deciphered in that moment, that it is not that we are rushing thorugh, but that we were taken by the flow we all created in the fashion described above.
As Marjeta had birthday we decided to put the „Happy birthday“ song at the end if it will fit and come about. It did. And Emanuela described the transformation of Marjeta from being attentive listener that is almost meditating to being aware that the song was for her. She rushed to us as we finished and thanked us both for such a surprise.
Later in the evening we had some discussion with people that are mostly coming from visual arts. One that I remember now is the question what is more difficult to articulate: voice or movement. And then which element is the driving one: voice of movement. As much as I wanted to answer in favour of one or the other to keep things simple as my italian is basic, I could nopt resist but tell what I was thinking. Voice or movement are not predominant in the event. What is predominant is taking care of the conditions that are up to date/minute/second/moment. There are other elements to take care of not only voice or movement. One would say that this is obvious that we are caretakers of the conditions of creating WHAT? What is there? What is given?
The answer again is in the practice and as of now hasn't been interested or worked enough on to get articulated also in words other then it was already.

The publicly announced session of Obed 14th July at festival Hotel Limbo at Laboratorio dell'Imperfetto took its own way immediately it started. Again :-) And that is something we want to happen.
We organize the environment, the conditions, in order for us to indulge into working with what is there already and where it is taking us. Whenever one says in performing „it“ took me somewhere, this „it“ is co-created by each individual (starting with performer and going all the way to observer) by creating conditions where this „it“ then appears, happens, takes over.
