The Secret Slowness of Movement
The Secret Slowness of Movement
These arms of mine they are burning
Burning from wanting you, these arms of mine.
They are wanting, wanting to hold you.
And if you would let them hold you,
Oh how grateful I will be'
Otis Reading
The Secret Slowness of Movement is an invitation to slow dance, or slow be.
A refuge for quiet contemplation, a dance floor for anonymous embodied slowness.
Bring a lover, friend or nemesis, or come alone.
And together let us surrender to the secret slowness.
This is The Secret Slowness of Movement's first incarnation. It is part of Laura Dannequin's on-going investigation into the creation of participatory dance installation work, first explored in Dance Dark Dance (Mayfest 2013).
