Today:
-Warming up: focusing on breath
- Vibrations
- We played with syllables: exploring different types:
"Ba" vs. "Pa"--> the former being an outward syllable, the latter being "inward"
"Ta" vs. "Da"
"Za" vs. "Sa"
etc.
Exploring how that feels... Starting with "lip" syllables, "tongued" syllables and then syllables that come from the base of the throat.
We improvised with the syllables, did that stuff with a partner, chasing each other around. I am supposed to used that same energy that I used with my partner in everything else I do.
I started reading the Yoshi Oida book, and now everything's starting to make sense.
My 3-minute text is right on time, not too long not too short.
