Awakening awareness of the “8 Basic Actions” requires a change in consciousness. In our daily interactions with tools and material objects, we are focused on what we are doing. Becoming aware of effort qualities and their dynamic combinations requires a focus on how we are using tools and impacting objects.
I’ve been practicing shifting my awareness from what to how – and it’s fun! I’m finding Action Drives in unexpected places and activities. My self-image is changing as I become more aware of my daily efforts and find ways to accentuate dynamic rhythms that have been hiding in plain sight.
You, too, can have fun with effort. Find out more in the upcoming Summer and Autumn MoveScape Center courses devoted to exploring the dynamosphere.
