Catching in

What is the floor we arrive at? The surface ground upon which we touch in? How do we recieve it, enfold it into our dynamic journey and send it on its way? What ideas does it have and what ideas do we impress upon it? Is it a part of something else and are we a part of that something too? Are we the missing parts to each other linked in an unavoidable dance that we do not so much operate but rather that takes us into its patterning? Is the patterning of this dance an idea that enfolds random events into its texture? Where do we rest? Or are we resting even in the pattern that is always making itself; that we never know in full but which implicates us and through which we emerge?

Can we move through this floor whilst also impacting on it? How can we become such a floor to one another; transparent and yeilding but with definite momentary limits and points of impact? How would such an interaction inform the nature of address between practitioners and children or adults with neurological and motor difficulties? Is the nature of this address a constellation recognised even in the hit and miss tangents of our lived situation? How is this timed? Is this what care is? Alluding to the practice of pattern-making through careful timing rather than to fixed ideas of each other. This is an outline for the aesthetics of contact.
