My choice of title for the upcoming MoveScape Center course, “Incomplete Efforts (Mostly)” is tongue-in-cheek. I don’t feel the six effort states are “incomplete.” Instead I see these less-intense effort compounds as vital “connective tissue” in the ongoing stream of movement.
This is because the effort states – awake, dream, near, remote, stable, and mobile – serve as preparations for the more intense drives, allowing the mover to build up to a peak expenditure of energy.
Within a drive, effort states serve to connect different effort compounds.
In the dynamosphere at large, effort states also link different drives, providing organic lines of connection between inner and outer, exertion and recuperation.
We will be traveling the highways and byways of the dynamosphere in the upcoming MoveScape Center correspondence course by activating the connective tissue of the effort states. Excursion #1 departs soon!
