Body responsive versus Body potent

What is it about a Japanese warrior's potential for an energy-charged thrust which he is able to execute out of the seemingly undersized physicality? The energizing potential does not come down to the physical; it is just momentarily performed through it. The physical is an active channel that strives for harmony.
We are working with familiar choreographic patterns and physically research on the cycles of energy exchanges; observing charging interactions. We are looking at interval-based movement patterns, binding the physical trigger to its response and back to the trigger again; we are fascinated by discovering what emerges there… in between the response and a following up trigger, as a hanging in the air yet vigorous combination.
