Change Practice: Billy Mark

(TRANSCRIPT)

Change Practice with the artist, Billy Mark. This is a score for a part of the body we normally don’t dance with...the eyes.

Take a deep breath. As you exhale, relax your eyes. And you might want to repeat that a couple times. 

When you feel centered and your eyes feel relaxed, slowly begin to move them through the space. Explore.

Find something in the room that sparks your attention. And when you find that connection bring your eyes to a stillness and allow them to simply gaze and remain in that connection of the gaze for one-minute or as long as you need, whichever comes first. Be prepared for any tensions that may arise during this minute. That’s natural. Allow yourself to breathe and remain connected. Afterwards, rub your eyes, give them a little massage and maybe even throw them a little gratitude.
