Your Creative Sparks:  WATER can be ALTERED in its STATE from liquid to solid to gas. Our BODIES are about 70% water... get it? Challenge your ASSUMPTIONS. Anything can CHANGE, and it’s ALLOWED to change. CHANGE in the WORLD will come through the BODY.  Our five-part series exploring the fundamental building blocks of life – their constitution, their character, our assumptions about them, and our relationship to them. Meander along with us as Lobsterbird marks time and space with the illustrious Deborah Black, reflecting on the flow of their lives as performers and artists, how studying embodied practices has altered their paths, and how this momentum is leading to significant change in themselves and the world. Leave us a Rating &amp; Review! Your Travelogue  We often get into habits with time. When we change those habits, a lot starts to come through the channel of creative flow. Water – what time does it hold in it? 6:00 There are many different kinds of water time… snow falling time, still water time, rippling water time, rushing river time…  [4:52] Deborah’s career began with her training as a dancer. She soon learned that she also wanted to use her voice on stage, and it started coming up in her choreographic work. She was looking for a theatre training that she related to, and she found the Viewpoints - her island of dancers and actors coming together to use their bodies in a different way. [8:11] “Corporations aren’t going anywhere, but they want to become more human.” This idea planted in my head that I wanted to be spreading embody practices to people who were not dancers. [13:36] How we get to flow… When water runs on your body, you get to feel all sides of water, even the inside of it. Not like a rock, where you only get to feel the surface. With the Viewpoints, you get to look at your assumptions about the materials of life… time, space, emotion, story… What are those things really? And what is my relation to them? You get to choose. [20:50] How would you explain the Viewpoints to your Grandma? Deborah connects with her ancestry and formulates a unique perspective to describe her embodied practice. [22:55] You can explain the Viewpoints in words, but you must experience it to really get it. We are breaking down time and space into different elements, and putting our attention on them in a new way. Then we can put them back together in new configurations and create new possibilities. [29:20] Artists and scientist are not really that different from each other. They are all researching without having any idea of what the result is going to be, and doing so with the hope that you are going to change someone’s life. [31:11] How can the Viewpoints help us today? Uncovering assumptions! One is that the body isn’t valued. But the brain is not disconnected from the body. Knowledge comes through more than just language. How can we integrate the moving body and the thinking body? [36:14] Anger is a tool. What makes me angry is that art has been placed in a box. Artists have superpowers from being in their bodies. Creating change in our society is calling for embodiment. [43:33] Practicum! Join us in a basic Viewpoints practice called Walk and Stop. Put down whatever you are working on, and prepare to challenge your assumptions. [49:00]  Links and resources:  Lobsterbird’s new book: Level Up: Power Practices for Spiritual Superabundance by Sophia Remolde Teaching embodiment online is completely possible and totally radical.
