BODY MARIONETTE
Personal Desire Performance Assignment

Following the music with my body instead of my head.
In this performance I tried to completely focus on the effect of the music on my body and how it is naturally moving to it. Dressed all in black in order to fade out all the distractions besides my different body parts, I let my body follow the sound of instrumental songs.
This translation of my desire; to take a controlled break from daily restrictions and have a moment just for myself in order to empty my head, was especially there to connect my body to mind and let me start thinking physically instead of mentally. Every single body part had their own mind, sometimes acting together sometimes apart from each other _ possible because the music in the background let me turn off my thoughts and free my headspace. Not emptiness in my head, but different focus turning my mind into a space where I let things and movements happen. No thinking, just doing.
