Walking quotes from 1st Meeting
There are walks on which we tread in the footsteps of others, walks on which we strike out entirely for ourselves. Rebecca Solnit
Looking, singing, resting, breathing, are all complimentary to walking. Thomas Clarke
We can walk between two places and in doing so establish a link between them, bringing them into a warmth of contact, like introducing two friends. TC
Always, everywhere, people have walked, veining the earth with paths visible and invisible, symmetrical and meandering. TC
The line of a walk is articulate in itself, a kind of statement.
If a poem is each time new, then it is necessarily an act of discovery, a chance taken - A poem is a walk. a R Ammons
The body- mind is so at one with this rough ready world that it makes these moves effortlessly once it has had a bit of practice. The mountain keeps up with the mountain. G Snyder
I stide along with calm, with eyes, with shoes, with fury, with forgetfulness. Neruda

Dancers in landscape 2
Collective Ideas
A core group that network and support each other with a committment to dancing in nature
Towards performance, experiential, workshops, rituals
It is a creative sourcing, that brings resonance to our seperate work as independent makers
It is about trust and generating depth
A sense of community
Witness and attention
Nourishment and ritual
A responsibility of learning about where we are in the environment
Sharing the wonderment of nature
The visceral experience
In nature you can't go so far In - you have to have a dialogue with In and Out
How still one wants to be in nature, a desire to distill movement to stillness
How to record the work
Photographers, film makers, sound artists, visual artists, writers
The group also using these methods of recording, writing and harvesting what has happened in between meetings as well.
How often to meet
Every 6 weeks
Each Meeting
Different people in the group can hold each session
The session can reflect their practice and wishes
Seasonal Visits
To visit the same site ( Bunces Barn) each season
Each person to choose site for their session
Inviting experts to inform the group

Inviting other Dancers who work in Landscape to offer sessions
