The patterns we make reveals the meaning we create through where we place ourselves.
It also reveals where we go without thinking.

What happens if we allow kinesthetic response to inform our patterns?
Am I following an impulse to be close to something or someone? Or am I being repelled to move in an opposite direction?
Is my pattern a seeking or a repelling?

Kinesthetic Response.

This is the act of movement, or being moved, in response to someone or something. Kinesthetic, simply meaning your senses are engaged, your physically active in your experience.

A response, the reply.
The ouch to the pinch. The pull to the push.

A true indicator if you are listening, if you are engaged.
This ViewPoint lives in the realm of time, as it can only be experienced in the moment that is happening.

Gesture is born from space — the way energy takes form, how an impulse finds its outline in your body or in the space around us.
Repetition lives in time — the way form deepens through return, how what is repeated becomes transformed.

Where Gesture has a beginning, middle, and end,
Repetition sometimes feels as if it has no end at all.

Within Anne Bogart’s View Points, working with Architecture is to move with the space itself. Allowing the environment or the architecture of the room to become an active participant in the relationship.

This can get overlooked quite easily. I can think of the walls of the room, the objects within it as inanimate, non-movable monoliths that are there to navigate AROUND…. Versus information, reflectors, amplifiers to navigate WITH.

Tempo…. the pacing… cadence - pulse - speed - rhythm - measure
Duration… how long… span - interval - extent - spell - period

Defined separate… explored together… as most things are.
The energy of what is happening radically affected either way.

Shapes make up the space.
Shapes fill the space. Shapes move through the space.

Balance. Discord. Harmony. Dissonance.
Beauty. Chaos. All at our disposal.

Spatial Relationship is crucial in navigating the world.
It outlines safety, it can alter dynamics in group settings,
it has a hand in creating beauty or discord.
But, we actually have to learn our relationship in “space”.

Perspective is everything.
What I see, What I don’t see
all informs into how I fill those gaps.
The story I create in my head.
Filling in the gaps of the unknown with assumptions.

How I process that information is layered in my history, my experience,
filtering my preferences and prayers…

This is not always active and conscious …
The cognitive mapping of my brains encodes, not only places but also experiences, so I have room to navigate fluidly as new moments arise on impulse…
