Drawing for Movement

So far, we have been experimenting with materials and now that we are drawing, these seems to be confusion about our new project: in and on the paper
- there may be confusion because of the constancy in trying to get rid of conventions and going back to just drawing.
- by feeling and sitting the paper, a feeling of being in the paper is experienced. (embodied knowing)
- if you're going to draw something, use your senses in order to have discussion about it.- "a feel for something."
- a movement comes in, through, out the body and into the drama. (moves and gathers something out from itself.)

How do you keep your drawing alive?
- focus on the line. What does it tell you? Des it tell you to stop or go on? There's a subtlety to it.
- on vs. in the paper...

Now...
Create a drawing. At the end, it should have a feel of the object that you started with. How do you preserve the quality of the drawing without presenting the drawing.
Lines: In and Out of surface, own integrity and preservation that doesn't have to refer itself ouside directly but has a feel of where it began.
- Take drawing back into the body from object itself. (Dancers do this very well..where motions of dropping into the paper is manifested.)
- Ask yourself: What kind of drawings do they need to be?
- Give a new birth to them. What needs to happen to these lines?
- What kind of movement does it make?
