Shaping our Embodiment
Notice how you shape your presence, “the self” and how you configure knowing the “other.”
Then, imagine moving without moving the body. Discover the smallest possible imagined internal action of moving. Get to know the imagination that forms embodied relations.
Next, Imagine Differently. You are a universe unto yourself. Extend your perceptual self to the wall, person, room, house, tree beside or beyond you.
Get as engaged in this imagined state as possible. Notice what happens to your physical experience. Notice, how, in order to do this task, your imagination has to frame a “self” that complies with this state. Notice the imagination is present always, shaping, acting, and even attempting to act.
Notice that how you imagine yourself to be, in relations or not, shapes what you feel, what you experience.
Last, open your movement until you are dancing, moving at the speed of your attention. Notice what you bring to your relations via your imagining. No words are necessary.
Relational Invitation
This score focuses on attending to the relationship with the environment around you, whether that's other living beings, the non-human or more than human.
Feel and invite the presence of what's around you, allowing your attention to touch. Presence itself, is a disturbance. Attend to your environmental disturbance, both internally and externally. Notice the change.
Next, allow the attention of your environment to touch you. Notice the way attention changes you.
Last, allow yourself to oscillate between self, and "we" - a both singular and multiple spatial being.

Notice Noticing
Flex between noticing all of your partners, and noticing at least one of your partners noticing you whether or not you are in physical contact. Please, do not rely on sight alone, but rather open the field of your touch sensing, interior and exterior to your flesh. Begin to ask yourself the question, how do I know they know I’m here? Notice what noticing feels like. Know what changes for you when they know you are there. Notice what you do to let your partner know you notice them. What does noticing as communication do?

Learning To Ask Again (Notice Noticing 2)
In a state of inquiry, become aware of the presence of people and things as you move, perhaps dancing, in a space.
Recognize the moment you are influenced by presence. Notice the change in your experience, the relational advance of a moment as the space enlivens anew. Notice the inquiry or lack of inquiry in your noticing. How do you notice?
Notice place, scale, intensity, tone, and other qualities of relational recognition. Identify which of these are composed and can be modulated by your creative agency and which have a substantial aspect and are beyond your control. Notice any inclination toward interpretation, assumption, super-imposition, or predetermination of your experience of presence. This helps you notice what also shows up when you notice. So, then ask again. How do you notice?
For example, a simple rock. Notice what you bring to the rock that shapes your experience. Inquire what could be an experience of the rock without any affective predeterminations – thus “cleansing” the field of your experience. Ask questions such as, “have I precluded the possibility of a two way relational experience of the rock, in which the rock recognizes my presence?” Then, ask again.
If the answer is “no, rocks have no consciousness”, you have the possibility of entering a state of not knowing, a suspension of belief or of dis-belief. You can also enter this state from any perspective on rocks. And, because you can, ask again.
What else is pre-determined in this relationship? Ask again and again.
How does this relational moment offer new vulnerabilities as well as new powers in experiencing presence?
