Placement
A movement poem for March 28, 2020 by Jill Randall
Put
Place
Place in the air
Place in your pocket
On your soles
In your heart
On your head
To your face
Breathe.
Organize,
But then swipe the table
Brush
Clear
Clear
Stop.
Hands on table
Hands together
Hands on hips
On ears
On eyes
In the air
Open + close,
Hands that is
Open,
Open,
Open

Good morning! Today's poem is a slightly longer one for me.
May I suggest "7 60" as music accompaniment, by Michael Wall? Oh I love this piece! It is #5 on this playlist.
For today, consider beginning by putting on the music, and reading the poem aloud to yourself 1-2 times.
Without overthinking it, grab a few ideas or images from the poem and begin playing and improvising for about 2 minutes.
See if you can land on 8 movements you really like, and build a very short phrase. (Or, take on the task of choreographing a longer phrase using the entire poem and every line.)
