carrying out transducing

We are working with a text. It is "INCIPIENT ACTION – THE DANCE OF THE NOT-YET" by Erin Manning. I am reading it while moving across the space, trying to stay as natural in movement (while reading aloud) as possible. I can be facing different directions, reading it to the space rather than to us.

For the sake of the exercise, understanding is less important. We are interested if the reading as an activity based on a particular text, here Erin Manning's, spurs any physical activity (in a form of a responsive effect) that might or might not win over the general habit of prioritizing comprehension of the text in a still concentrated posture over experiencing it through the active (here, motile) body.

Kenzo is lying down with his eyes closed…

Question: How did it feel during the session?

(Kenzo)
It brought more space and potent, mobilizing vibrations...
