[shutter click] Anders: You got a color film, Jim? Hand me a roll of color, quick, would you? Lovell: Oh, that's great. Anders: Hurry. Lovell: Where is it? Anders: Quick Lovell: Down here? Anders: Just grab me a color. A color exterior. Hurry up. Got one? Lovell: Yeah, I'm looking' for one. Anders: Anything. Quick. Lovell: Here. Anders: Well, I think we missed it. Lovell: Hey, I got it right here. Anders: Let me get it out this one, it's a lot clearer. Lovell: I got it, it's very clear right here! [shutter click] Lovell: Got it? Anders: Yep. Lovell: Take several, take several of 'em! Here, give it to me! Anders: Wait a minute, just let me get the right setting here now, just calm down. Lovell: Take - Anders: Calm down, Lovell! Lovell: Well, I got it right - aw, that's a beautiful shot…Two-fifty at f/11. [shutter click] Anders: Okay. Lovell: Now vary-vary the exposure a little bit. Anders: I did, I took two of 'em here. Lovell: You sure you got it now? Anders: Yeah, we'll get - well, it'll come up again, I think.

From Here, do we move forward Into a future that is here, always here See the body paving the ground under foot, as we dance Let our bodies continue to move through space and time, space and time coming into being with things (of which bodies are included) being in relation to things (of which bodies are included) Falling forward > > > > let’s dance, for dance involves the body (not only traditionally), but as an agent or a medium condition – acquiring implicit knowledge and kinaesthetic awareness that creates an extended body, which is capable to radiate and sense beyond its physical boundaries , turning, falling, landing beyond, further, and further into the far surrounding.

      Let us fall backward

< < < < < Into reoccurring conversations, historic loops, where ‘progress’ feels all at once attainable and artificial. The feeling of the now. Another Earth Rising

Future < < < < < < < SPACE > > > > > > > Out Yonder, what spaces can bodies occupy? What bodies define space? How do bodies make space for solutions for the now, if the now is already here? Look Yonder

Slow constellations of matter, bumping to each other, the internal meets the external, back and forth, intermingling and bringing things into being. Pressures of space and time affects us, till New bodies form, or so they say, or so they imagine. What kind of experiences will they allow? Keep falling ( <  >  (all at once)) Keep attending to the now of our bodies experience, it will take us somewhere. Moving, is perceiving, is relationships with corpora (of which the body is included) Here we are again < <
