Gardzienice


We started by walking at the same pace to get a rythem. We then got into pairs to get our breathing and running in time with each other. But to then go into jazz breathing for a short time then straight back into the rythem. We then hoped from one foot to the other with the aim being to do exactly the same start and finish. We found it easier if you did a slight movement to show you were about the start and we also changed our breathing when we were about to stop. A technique we used was columbian hypnosis in pairs when you follow the other persons hand. You need lots of focus to follow the hand and when we stopped you felt very weird which is when you realised your were in  trance like state. The main ideas of these is to empty the mind of everything to listen to ther people.
Simular to butoh in the way of clearing your mind but the goal of butoh is to frr the subconcious instead of using it to focu souling on one thing. The use of equality, reacting and bouncing off each other is simular to meyerhold but in meyerhold there is a dominent character who the others get their rythem from.
