Pockets of air
Begin by envisioning the small, delicate spaces between your bones as ethereal pockets of air, gently flowing and encircling your body. Allow this imagery to deepen your awareness of the subtle internal landscapes within you.

Turn your attention first to your fingers. As you bring your focus to these extremities, notice the spaces between each finger bone. Feel the tingling, lightness, or nuanced movements that arise within these interstitial areas. Let these sensations guide the motion of your fingers—whether it be a soft curling, an expansive spreading, or an elegant stretching.

Shift your awareness to your knees. Observe the spaces between the bones in this region, tuning in to the subtle variations and sensations that emerge. Allow these sensations to inspire movements such as bending, extending, rotating, or swaying. Reflect on how these movements respond to the sensations you perceive.

Extend this exploration to other parts of your body, seeking out the spaces between bones. Engage with each space individually, allowing the sensations to direct your movements. Embrace the process of repeating movements or pausing in areas where the sensations are particularly strong or intriguing.

Through this journey, let the interstitial spaces between your bones become a source of inspiration and movement, guiding you to new experiences of your body's internal landscape.


Magnified World
Envision yourself navigating through the world as if viewed through a magnifying glass. Allow this magnification to transform your perception of the landscape, your skin, and other bodies around you. As you move, let the intensified details and textures of the environment captivate your senses.

Immerse yourself in this magnified exploration, absorbing every nuance and subtlety of the minute world around you. Consider how the textures, patterns, and intricate details that emerge through this lens influence your movement.

Imagine your body as a living extension of these magnified elements. Let the textures and patterns you observe manifest in your physical expression. Allow your movements to evolve organically from this enriched perception, letting the magnified world shape and guide your gestures. Allow this magnified view to become a seamless part of your movement vocabulary.


Upward Gravitas
Imagine, that your arms are being lifted by a force akin to gravity, yet it exerts its pull upward, inverting our familiar experience. Find a spacious area where your movements can unfold without constraint. Take a few moments to fully arrive in this place, allowing your body to acclimate to its surroundings.

Begin to move by envisioning an invisible force that gently draws your arms skyward. This force is tender yet insistent, guiding the ascent of your arms with a slow, graceful precision. As you start walking, maintain a measured and deliberate pace, feeling your arms perpetually buoyed by this upward pull.

Notice the different qualities of movement that this imagined force brings forth. Experiment with varying speeds and rhythms, decelerating until you are moving almost in slow motion. Each step should be infused with the sensation of weightlessness that elongates your arms.

As you traverse the space, become keenly aware of its dimensions and how your presence, with arms uplifted, transforms your perception. How does the spatial environment reciprocate your movements? How does it influence your embodied experience?

Find moments to pause, holding positions where your arms remain elevated as though defying gravity. Sense the tension and energy coursing through your body as you resist the natural downward pull. Allow your body to respond intuitively to these sensations and the imagery of elevation.

Explore variations in your movement: perhaps one arm reaches while the other stays lifted, or incorporate subtle rotations and twists. Through these explorations, remain attuned to the delicate interplay between the imagined force, your bodily sensations, and the surrounding space.


Reflective Interactions
Wherever you find yourself, start by immersing your awareness in the space around you. Observe its dimensions, architecture, and unique features with a keen eye. Take note of how light plays with the environment, casting shadows and sculpting contrasts that define its character.

As your awareness deepens, imagine your body as a mirror—an entity capable of absorbing and reflecting the space's essence. Envision yourself as a responsive surface, attuned to the spatial qualities you've observed. Allow this imaginative exercise to guide your movement, letting your body respond organically to the textures, structures, and forms that define the space.

As you engage in this mirroring, delve into the concept of reciprocity. How does the space interact with your movements? What feedback or resonance emerges between your body and its surroundings? Explore this dynamic relationship by adjusting your perspective—move closer to walls, corners, or specific objects, and observe how your presence and movement alter the spatial experience.

Move from curiosity and release any preconceived notions. Allow your exploration to unfold organically, as you discover new relationships and dynamics between your body and the space. Afterward, take a moment to reflect: What insights or revelations emerged from this dance of mirroring? What new understandings have you gained about the interplay between body and environment?


Five words
Delve into the rich terrain of linguistic discovery by selecting five words from a dictionary with which you are unfamiliar. Forego immediate consultation of their definitions. Instead, let the unfamiliarity serve as an invitation to embody these terms.

Begin by observing each word as an abstract entity, devoid of preconceived meaning. Engage your body in a dance of interpretation, crafting a movement or sequence of movements that encapsulates your intuitive response to each word. Allow the textures, rhythms, and resonances of the words to guide your physical expression.

This corporeal exploration will serve as a prelude to the intellectual understanding, foregrounding the embodied knowledge that arises from the encounter with linguistic novelty. Through this process, consider how the body interprets, translates, and performs meaning in the absence of explicit definition.

Document your movements and reflect upon the kinesthetic and sensory impressions each word elicits. How does the act of movement enrich your engagement with the unfamiliar lexicon?


Micro-Falls
As you embark on a walk, transform this quotidian activity into a meticulous exploration of bodily relaxation. Begin by consciously dedicating a moment to each part of your body, inviting it to release any residual tension. Visualize a subtle micro-fall for each specific body part, a gentle surrender that momentarily releases any resistance against gravity.

This micro-fall is not a collapse, but a delicate yielding, a nuanced letting go. As you move, allow each part of your body to engage in this micro-fall in sequence, starting perhaps with your shoulders, then your elbows, your wrists, your hips, your knees, and finally your ankles.

Engage in this practice with minimal emphasis on planning or overthinking. Instead, surrender to the natural flow of relaxation, permitting your movements to be guided by the sensation of release. Notice how this gentle yielding alters your gait, your posture, and your overall sense of presence within your body.

Reflect on how this practice transforms your walk. How does the act of consciously relaxing each body part affect your movement through space? What insights emerge as you engage with this embodied practice of letting go? Document these reflections, allowing the embodied knowledge to inform your continued exploration of movement and relaxation.


Geometrical shapes
Imagine that your body is a collection of geometric shapes. Take a moment to visualize these shapes within different parts of your body. For example, you might imagine your arms as long rectangles, your torso as a cylinder, or your legs as triangles. As you move, explore how these imagined shapes influence your movements and the way you perceive your body. Start with small, isolated movements in one part of your body, focusing on the qualities of the imagined shapes. Gradually expand your exploration, integrating the geometric shapes into more complex movements and sequences. Notice how the shapes interact and connect with each other, creating a dynamic interplay within your body. Experiment with different qualities of movement, such as sharp, angular motions or smooth, curved gestures, reflecting the characteristics of the imagined shapes. Feel how these shapes can inspire new ways of moving and perceiving your body. Allow the geometric shapes to guide your movements, leading you to discover new possibilities and expressions within your body.


Dynamics
Consider the intricate interplay of your skeletal framework as it navigates through space. Each bone, with its unique weight and form, bestows distinct qualities upon your movements. Reflect on the delicate contrast between the slender phalanges of your little finger and the sturdy vertebrae that form your upper spine.

Imagine your bones as sculptural elements, akin to celestial masses, moving and shifting in a grand cosmic dance. Envision them colliding and realigning, their trajectories influenced by an internal gravity that draws some toward each other while pushing others apart. Let these interactions guide your movement, as you sculpt through space with a fluid, uninhibited grace.

Allow your imagination to unfold as you explore these dynamics. See your body as a living sculpture, where the interplay of bones creates an evolving composition of movement. As you engage in motion, focus on the magnetic allure between different bones, observing how their interactions produce a nuanced lexicon of movement. Contemplate the assembly of these skeletal masses as a holistic work of art, each movement contributing to the sculptural form of your body.

Explore the transition from the subtle attraction between adjacent bones to the more profound connection between distant elements. Discover how these skeletal dynamics shape and redefine your experience of space.


Appointment
Identify an upcoming appointment within your schedule that necessitates rescheduling—be it a medical consultation, a professional meeting, a personal engagement, or another commitment. Engage deeply with the choreography of rescheduling by dissecting the constituent elements involved.

Begin by enumerating all participants, objects, and entities implicated in this temporal rearrangement. Consider the human and non-human agents alike: colleagues, healthcare professionals, personal acquaintances, technological devices, and perhaps even pets or environmental conditions.

Reflect upon the intricate actions and interactions that this rescheduling will orchestrate. Visualize the sequence of gestures: the digital exchanges, the verbal confirmations, the bodily relocations. Contemplate the temporal and spatial dimensions—when will these actions unfold, and where will they transpire?

Allocate ten minutes to meticulously document a comprehensive list of these components, tracing the ripples of your decision to reschedule through the fabric of your daily choreography. What does this reveal about the interconnectedness of your engagements and the nuanced performance of everyday life?


Emptiness
Seek out five distinct notions of emptiness, drawing from various sources such as cultural contexts, philosophical texts, or artistic interpretations. These notions can span a range of categories, including abstract concepts, emotional states, or descriptive experiences.

As you document these five different interpretations, reflect on how each one reveals different dimensions of what it means to experience or perceive emptiness. Note any contrasts and connections between them, and consider how these insights might influence your understanding of emptiness in both conceptual and practical terms.


Flexing time
Let’s revisit the concept of time through dance. Imagine that time is not a linear progression but a fluid, malleable entity that you can shape and manipulate. Begin by setting a timer for a specific duration, such as 10 minutes. Start moving in your own space, exploring various qualities of movement, tempos, and rhythms. As you move, visualize time as a tangible substance that you can mold and stretch with your movements. Experiment with slowing down your movements, elongating each gesture and sensation as if you are expanding time itself. Then, try accelerating your movements, compressing time and experiencing a heightened sense of speed and urgency. Transition between these extremes, playing with the elasticity of time and how it affects your perception of movement. Notice how your body responds to these shifts in tempo and rhythm. Allow yourself to become fully absorbed in the sensation of manipulating time, letting go of any preconceived notions about its fixed nature.


Mapping energy
Our bodies, as living archives of experience and sensation, continuously transform through the flux of temporal and spatial conditions. Today, observe how you shift through myriad states of energy, noticing a distinct vivacity in the morning, a tapering of this vigor by midday, and a renewal of awareness as the evening approaches. Engage in a kinesthetic inquiry throughout today. Document the fluctuating currents of energy as they traverse your corporeal landscape, mapping the ebbs and flows, the peaks and troughs of yourself.


Pelvis
Turn your focus inward to your pelvis. Envision it as a delicate entity, suspended and separate from the rest of your body, floating freely in space. Sense the graceful, effortless motion of your pelvis as it glides through the air, unbound by gravity.

As you explore this sensation of weightlessness, let your pelvis move in all directions—upwards, forwards, or sideways—with a fluid, liberating quality. Allow this floating sensation to guide your movements, experiencing the independence of your pelvis as it seems to defy gravity.

Shift your attention to the influence of gravity on your pelvis. Experiment with movements that contrast the previous weightlessness. Let your pelvis feel heavy and grounded, as if pulled downward by gravity. Embrace this sense of resistance, allowing your pelvis to descend with a deliberate, weighted force.

Seek a dynamic balance between these opposing sensations—floating and heavy, liberated and grounded. Create a unique interplay between your pelvis and the gravitational forces, exploring how these contrasting experiences shape your movements.

Feel free to extend this exploration to other parts of your body, allowing them to interact and respond to the shifting movements of your pelvis. Let your entire body reflect the interplay of weightlessness and gravity, discovering the fluid dance between these forces.


Beginnings that never end
Reflect on the myriad movements and gestures that signal the commencement or initiation of an event or action. Consider how different contexts—whether social, ceremonial, or mundane—employ specific physical expressions to mark a start.

Begin by identifying several gestures or movements that convey the notion of beginning. These might include the ceremonial raising of a flag, the rhythmic clap of hands to signal the start of an event, or the subtle shift of weight as one prepares to step forward. Think of actions that not only signify the initiation but also embody the anticipation and momentum of a new phase.

Articulate these movements with precision, exploring their nuances and implications. How does each gesture communicate the transition from potential to action? Reflect on how the physicality of these beginnings encapsulates the essence of starting something new. Provide examples that resonate with you, drawing from various domains or personal experiences.

Through this exploration, seek to understand the embodied language of initiation. How do these gestures frame the act of starting and what do they reveal about the nature of beginnings?


Pause
Imagine stepping outside to a chosen location beyond the confines of your home, a space where relaxation envelops you. Leave behind all electronic devices, removing distractions to fully engage with your environment. Upon arrival, allow yourself to pause. This pause is not just a momentary stop but a deliberate act of inhabiting the space.

Engage in an experiment of pausing: explore stillness, the subtle shifts of your body, the quality of your breath, and the sensations in your limbs. How does your presence alter with each method of pausing? What variations emerge as you stand, sit, or recline? Notice how the environment responds to your stillness, how it invites you to attune to its nuances—the rustling leaves, the distant sounds, the interplay of light and shadow.

Through this practice, discover the most fitting method of pausing, one that harmonizes with and amplifies the inherent qualities of your surroundings. Let this embodied exploration reveal new layers of connection and presence, enriching both your experience and the place you inhabit.

June 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 351:
Observe the weather today for a minimum of 10 minutes. Pay attention to the sensations on your skin, such as heat, cold, or moisture. Also, notice how the weather affects your posture in comparison to other types of weather. Approach it as if you are experiencing this weather for the first time. React to the weather with a gesture or a short sequence of movements. Similar to yesterday, avoid contemplating the accumulation or juxtaposition of elements - refrain from trying to develop a theme or a story.

June 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 349:
Consider pondering about a peculiar habit you have, such as in my case, never fully tightening the lids on jars. Alternatively, I know someone who never finishes their plate entirely and always leaves a bite behind. Take a moment now to jot down five reasons why you have this habit and then brainstorm five potential benefits of it. Next, attempt to perform this action or habit in five different novel ways.

June 20, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 348:
Walk at a leisurely pace and feel the ground beneath your feet as you take a stroll. Then, shift your focus to your feet and give them a nurturing massage. Take the time to treat each toe individually, gently rubbing the middle of the underside of your feet. Allow yourself at least 5 minutes per foot for the massage. Once you've completed the massage, take another walk and observe how your feet and your energy feel different. Now, direct your attention to the birds in the surroundings and listen to their songs. Choose a singing bird that resonates with you. Follow the bird's melodies by wiggling your toes to the rhythm of the tune. Continue doing this for as long as you find pleasure in it and fully immerse yourself in the experience.

June 19, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 347:
Begin by taking a stroll around the neighborhood. Find three different types of surfaces: for example, forest ground, asphalt, and a patch of grassy meadow. Spend some time on each surface, at least five minutes. Observe and note down how each surface affects your feet. Does it alter your way of walking? Pay attention to any changes in your focus, attention or energy caused by the different surfaces. Once you feel comfortable, expand your exploration to include your hands and the rest of your body. You can lie down on the ground and observe how the surface feels against your back. Experiment with various ways of interacting with the ground using your hands. After examining each surface, take five minutes to write down your experiences and observations.

June 18, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 346:
Allocate at least ten minutes, or perhaps even longer, to observe the grass in your vicinity and how it sways or remains still in response to the wind.

Consider how each movement affects the empty space of the room.

June 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 344:
Please jot down five notions of emptiness. These can also be definitions of emptiness from other individuals. For each of these five concepts, find a posture, movement, or action that embodies this emptiness for you.

June 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 343:
Consider the intricate interplay of your skeletal framework as it traverses the expanse of space. Each bone, with its unique weight, imbues movement with distinct qualities. Reflect upon the disparity between the delicate phalanges of your little pinky and the robust vertebrae that compose the upper spinal column. Engage in motion uninhibited by predefined pathways, allowing your imagination to unfold. Envision the bones, akin to celestial masses, colliding and altering their course while others gravitate towards one another. Embrace this interplay and discover the emergence of a nuanced lexicon of movement. Contemplate the assembly of masses, viewing it as a holistic composition. Dedicate yourself to exploring the transition from the allure between two bones to the magnetic attraction between another pair.

June 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 342:
Start moving in any way you prefer, allowing your body to initiate the movements naturally. As you engage in each movement, pay attention to any associations or thoughts that arise in your mind. Whenever you have an association or thought related to the current movement, perform an oppositional movement.

June 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 341:
Direct your attention to your pelvis. Imagine your pelvis as a floating entity, separate from the rest of your body, suspended in space. Explore the sensation of your pelvis gracefully gliding through the air, defying gravity. Feel the weightlessness as it moves independently. Now, shift your focus to the influence of gravity on your pelvis. Experiment with slow, fluid movements where your pelvis appears weightless, effortlessly floating upwards, forwards, or sideways. Transition into movements where your pelvis feels heavy, descending downwards with a sense of resistance as if succumbing to gravity's pull. Find a balance between these contrasting movements, creating a unique interplay between your pelvis and the force of gravity. Let your body express the sensations and dynamics of this relationship. Feel free to incorporate other body parts into the exploration, allowing them to respond and interact with the movements of your pelvis.

June 12, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 340:
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Visualize the small spaces between your bones, imagining them as pockets of air surrounding and flowing through your body. Slowly bring your awareness to your fingers. Gradually move each finger and focus on the sensations between the finger bones. Notice any tingling, lightness, or subtle movements within those spaces. Allow each unique sensation in each finger's space to inspire a movement. It could be a gentle curling, spreading, or stretching of the fingers. Now, shift your attention to your knees. Tune in to the spaces between the bones in your knees. Feel the subtle sensations and variations in those areas. Allow the sensations in each knee's space to inspire movements. You may choose to bend, extend, rotate, or sway your knees, reflecting the sensations you perceive. Continue this process, exploring other areas of your body where you can perceive these spaces between bones. Focus on each space individually, letting the sensations guide your movements. Feel free to repeat movements or linger in certain areas that evoke a stronger or more interesting sensation.

June 11, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 339:
Please think of and describe several movements or gestures that are commonly used to symbolize the beginning or initiation of an event or any form of start. These can be related to various contexts or activities. Feel free to include any examples that come to mind!

June 10, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 338:
Wherever you are, begin by observing the space around you. Take note of its dimensions, architecture, and any unique features. Notice how the light interacts with the environment, casting shadows and creating contrasts. As you become more aware of the space, start to imagine that your body is a mirror, capable of reflecting and embodying the qualities of the surrounding environment. Visualize yourself as a responsive surface that absorbs and reflects the space. Start to move, allowing your body to respond to the spatial qualities you observed earlier. Examine the structures, textures, and forms of the space by incorporating them into your own movement.

As you continue to mirror the space, explore the concept of reciprocity. Consider how the space itself responds to your movements, influencing your body in return. Notice any feedback or resonance between your body and the environment. Experiment with mirroring the space from different perspectives and angles. Move closer to walls, corners, or specific objects in the space. Observe how your mirroring can transform these elements, creating new relationships and dynamics. Let go of any preconceived notions and allow yourself to be guided by curiosity.

Finally, take a moment to reflect on your experience. What did you discover through this exploration of mirroring space?

June 9, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 337:
Imagine that your arms are being lifted by a similar force to gravity, but in an upward direction. Begin by finding a spacious area where you can move freely.  Take a few moments in your own way to arrive at this place. As you start to move, imagine that there is an invisible force gently pulling your arms upward. Allow this imagined force to guide the movement of your arms, lifting them slowly and gracefully. Start to walk slowly through the space, maintaining a deliberate and controlled pace. As you move, keep your arms elevated, feeling the sensation of them being lifted by this upward force. Explore the different qualities of movement that emerge from this imagined force. Experiment with the speed and rhythm of your movement. Slow down even further, almost as if you are moving in slow motion. Allow each step to be deliberate and intentional, feeling the weightlessness and elongation in your arms. As you continue to move, become aware of the space around you. How does your presence and the positioning of your arms alter your perception of the space? How does the space influence your movement? Find moments of pause where you can hold a particular position, maintaining your elevated arms as if defying gravity. Feel the tension and energy in your body as you resist the downward pull. Let your body respond intuitively to the sensations and imagery. Explore variations of the movement, such as reaching with one arm while the other remains elevated or incorporating subtle rotations and twists.

June 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 336:
Small explosions arise from minuscule movements in your body. Begin by standing in a relaxed and centered position, feet hip-width apart, arms hanging loosely by your sides. Take a moment to connect with your body and become aware of any subtle sensations or impulses that arise within you. Notice the tiniest movements and shifts happening within your body. Start by focusing on a specific body part, such as your hand or foot. Slowly initiate a minuscule movement in that body part. It could be a gentle trembling, a slight sway, or a delicate rotation. Allow the movement to emerge naturally from within. As you continue with this minuscule movement, gradually let it expand and intensify like a small explosion rippling through your body.

Notice how the small explosions reverberate through your body, affecting your overall physical and energetic state.

June 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 335:
While walking, consciously dedicate a moment to relax each part of your body individually. Visualize a subtle micro-fall for that specific body part, as if it momentarily releases any resistance against gravity. Engage in this practice with a minimal emphasis on mind-planning, thinking, or resistance, instead allowing a natural flow of relaxation to guide your movements.

June 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 334:
Select five words from a dictionary that you are unfamiliar with. Prior to reading their definitions, perform a movement or a sequence of movements that represents your personal interpretation of each word.

June 5, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 333:
Select an appointment in your agenda that requires rescheduling. This could be a doctor's appointment, a business meeting, a personal consultation, or any other type of appointment.

Identify the elements: Analyse the various factors involved in rescheduling the appointment and consider all the individuals, objects, animals, and other entities who are involved. Reflect on the movements, actions, and interactions that will be affected by rescheduling this appointment, when they occur, and where they take place. Take 10 minutes to create a comprehensive list of all the aspects you can think of.

June 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 331:
Step outside to a location beyond your home, where you experience a profound sense of relaxation. This place can be of your choosing. However, refrain from carrying any electronic devices with you. Dedicate some time to pause at this spot and experiment with various methods of pausing, until you discover the most fitting one for this particular place. Consider how your pause can enhance this location.

June 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 330:
Take note of how the imagination enlists the mobilization of muscular action. Observe the muscles of one's nose and mouth as they witness a friend in sorrow or joy, or as they gaze sympathetically at a child or adult consuming bitter medicine. Notice that it is the facial muscles that respond to the imagination, not the toes or fingers.
Recollect five occurrences from this day and ruminate upon how your facial muscles orchestrated their own nuanced choreography in response to these situations. Summon forth these memories, summon the sensations. Position yourself before a mirror, whereupon you shall endeavor to replicate those intricate facial gestures once again.

June 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 329:
Our bodies undergo multiple changes throughout the day. I experience a different level of energy in the morning compared to during lunch. Take today to observe the fluctuations in energy within your body throughout the day.

May 31, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 328:
Place a towel on the floor and use it as a stage. Step onto and off the stage, and every time you step on it, perform a movement that reminds you of a moment during the day. Step on the stage at least ten times. If more moments arise, you can always do more!

May 30, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 327:
Find a serene outdoor location suitable for a leisurely walk.
Set aside a notebook or electronic device for documenting your observations.
Ensure you have at least 20 uninterrupted minutes for this exercise.
Start your walk, maintaining a relaxed pace. Take a moment to center yourself, focusing on the present moment and your surroundings. As you stroll, allow your gaze to wander, capturing the constant movements occurring in the environment – the sway of trees, the dance of sunlight on water, and the fluttering of leaves in the wind. Think and look at the world as a constant state of transformation. Notice also the fluidity and continuous motion of your body, the ever-shifting interplay between muscles, bones, and breath.
Find a comfortable spot to sit or stand. Take out your notebook or electronic device and reflect upon the movement-filled landscape you have witnessed. Describe your perceptions with a language aimed at immersing the reader in the transformative world you experienced. Find “new " words that describe the metamorphosis of the environment and your physical presence.

May 29, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 326:
In this assignment, we delve into the intricacies of the breath, examining its four distinct phases: inhalation, pause, exhalation, and pause. Each phase possesses its unique rhythm, duration, and flexibility, influenced by internal physiological and psychological states, as well as external environmental conditions.
By consciously engaging with the rhythm and qualities of our breath, we strive to heighten our awareness of its profound impact on our bodily sensations, energy levels, and communication abilities. This assignment invites you to seize the moments you spend in the bathroom as opportunities to observe the fluctuations in your breath.
As you go about tasks like brushing your teeth, taking a refreshing or invigorating shower, and briskly drying your skin with a towel, notice how these actions alter your breath. Take the time to consciously acknowledge these changes and experiment with modifying your breath at times or adjusting your movements.

May 28, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 325:
Look up an image of how your femurs are related to the pelvis, patella, and tibia. Carry on with your daily tasks, but ponder how the femur bones are connected to the space around you for a while. Visualize them as objects in the room that you consistently shift as you move.

May 27, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 324:
Allow your gaze to wander and rest upon different beings around you, such as people, animals, lichens, plants or even objects. Observe their movements, gestures, postures, and energy, noticing their unique qualities. Bring your hands in front of you, palms facing upward, and gently curl your fingers into a relaxed position. Begin to create movements with your fingers. As you move, envision your fingers representing a being that caught your attention earlier. Allow the qualities of that being to inspire the movement of your fingers. Select one being that resonated strongly with you. Start embodying the gestures, postures, and essence of that being through the movement of your fingers.

May 26, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 323:
Our thoughts also have a great impact on the body. If thinking leads to inhibition, a discerning observer can notice a slight stiffening of the spine, as well as clear changes in breathing patterns. In moments of intense emotional involvement, even blushing or facial redness can occur due to increased blood circulation, as muscles move both blood vessels and bones. Thoughts of arrogance can result in an involuntary tilting of the head and a jutting chin. The suggestion of inferiority leads to a downward bend of the entire body. Select sentences, words, or paragraphs from a book, newspaper, or other written text. Read them and then write down the effect they have on your body. What do you feel? And what do the sentences evoke in your thinking?

May 25, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 322:
Find a comfortable spot on the grass and gently sit down, allowing yourself to settle into a relaxed seated position. Take a moment to observe the grass beneath you, recognizing that it is in a constant state of change, even as you remain seated. Begin to explore movement from your seated position, focusing on how the imagery of the changing grass affects your body and motion. As you move, maintain an awareness of the constant changes happening beneath you and how it influences your own body's transitions. Emphasize a sense of mindfulness throughout the movement exploration, allowing yourself to be fully present in each moment and fully immersed in the imagery of the changing grass.

May 24, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 321:
Step outside and find a secluded place where you can move freely without disturbances, a natural space with no personal memories attached. Take a moment to stand still. Breathe deeply, allowing your body and mind to relax. Begin by reaching down with one hand, foot, or whole body, and gently explore the ground beneath you. Imagine you are reading Braille, absorbing the texture and contours with heightened sensitivity.
Take time to fully experience the physical sensations as you connect with the ground. Once you have done enough exploration, sit or find a comfortable position. Start writing about a memory from your youth when you were in nature for 10 minutes. Set a timer and let the words flow freely, allowing the memory to guide your pen as you reflect on how you discovered and experienced things as a child. After writing, stand up and begin moving, allowing the childhood story to serve as a guide for your exploration. Embrace the qualities of your memory: curiosity, wonder, and a sense of discovery. Engage your senses fully, just as you did in your childhood experiences. Move through the space, paying attention to how your body responds to the environment.
If you are not much of a mover, you could also do this exercise very small or in a way that comforts you.

May 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 320:
Close your eyes and visualize yourself in a space where gravity is not limited to the conventional downward direction. Imagine gravity pulling and pushing your body from various angles, challenging your balance and movement patterns. Embrace the sensation of being guided by these unconventional gravitational forces. Begin in a neutral standing position, grounding yourself and feeling the presence of the different gravity fields around you. Slowly initiate movement, allowing your body to respond to the external influences of the gravity fields. Experiment with weight shifts leaps, and falls, exploring the multidirectional forces acting upon you.

May 22, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 319:
Observe someone's movements in your vicinity. Notice how they walk, for instance, the swaying of their hips or the way they place their feet on the ground. Mimic these movements but at a slow or decelerated pace. Strive to be as detailed as possible.

May 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 318:
When you slow down just before making contact with an object while reaching for it or picking it up, your hands may experience various sensations. Here are a few common sensations you might feel:
Tactile Sensation: As your hands approach the object, you may begin to perceive a slight change in temperature, texture, or surface characteristics. Your fingertips might detect the object's properties, such as its smoothness, roughness, hardness, or softness.
Anticipation: Slowing down before touching the object can create a sense of anticipation in your hands. You might experience an increased awareness of the imminent contact and the pressure required to grasp the object successfully.
Kinesthetic Feedback: Your hands possess proprioceptive receptors that provide feedback on the position, movement, and tension in your muscles and joints. By slowing down, you allow these receptors to gather more detailed information, enabling you to sense the object's weight, shape, and position relative to your hand.
By deliberately slowing down the moment just before grasping or reaching for an object, you can become aware of these different sensations. Utilize this awareness as inspiration to take a few moments to explore the object in various ways.

May 20, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 317:
Jot down your personal interpretation of the term "emptiness". Perform this task thrice, at three distinct instances throughout your day. Prior to retiring for the night, peruse all three descriptions and contemplate how they resonate within your body. Do they evoke different sensations?

May 19, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 316:
When you visit a location today, leave a choreographic note for a stranger. Compose a single sentence that provides this individual with guidance to where you are, either in your thoughts, physically, or both!

Focus on your hands and feet simultaneously, observing their natural alignment and the relationship between them. Explore mirroring movements between your hands and feet. For example, if your hands move in circles, allow your feet to follow the same pattern.

Experiment with different qualities of movement, such as slow, flowing motions or sharp, percussive gestures, aiming to achieve harmony between your hands and feet.

Select a specific movement from your hand repertoire that you find particularly interesting or expressive. Begin by performing this movement with your hands, fully embodying its qualities and nuances. Gradually, translate this movement into your feet, finding ways to replicate the same dynamics and intentions. Explore how your feet can articulate and express the essence of the chosen hand movement. Merge the movements of your hands and feet, seeking to create seamless transitions and cohesive patterns. Play with variations, such as initiating movements with your hands and having your feet respond or vice versa. Experiment with different levels, directions, and spatial pathways, allowing your whole body to engage in this dynamic conversation between hands and feet.

May 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 313:
Find a comfortable space where you can stand without distractions. Convey each thought that arises in a single movement. Carry out this exercise for as long as you desire.

May 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 312:
When you wake up tomorrow morning, gradually transition into a slow, deliberate awakening, emphasising the connection between body and mind. Move slowly and attentively as if discovering each movement for the first time. Explore this transition from sleep to awake as slowly as possible.

May 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 311:
Select five extremely tiny movements, almost imperceptible to someone observing you. Repeat these movements in a sequence for at least half an hour. Then, reflect on how this affects the sensation in your body.

May 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 310:
Create a short instructional video for a family member. Choose any subject you like. Demonstrate the steps clearly and concisely, using visual cues and concise instructions. 

May 11, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 308:
Recall a moment today when you felt uncertain. Let this feeling guide your movements. Also, consider someone you know well who has experienced doubt and draw inspiration from their experience for your dance. Merge your own sensations and the other person's movements into a brief one-minute performance. Contemplate what the opposite movements and sensations would entail. Finally, create a one-minute improvised dance using the opposite movements and sensations.

May 10, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 307:
Take one page from your notebook where you have scribbled down something, whether it's a to-do list or a jumble of notes from a phone call. Although these notes may be overwhelming, try to view them as a cloud of thoughts. Write down all the physical activities that you can identify from the notes as physical activities.

May 9, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 306:
Find a comfortable spot on the floor and lie down. Close your eyes and imagine that your body has no anatomical structure. You have no idea what it looks like or how it moves. Imagine this for a couple of minutes while scanning your whole body with your minds-eye. With this blank slate in mind, start to move as if it's the first time you've ever moved before. Your bones are light and weightless, and you have no preconceived notions of what you "should" be able to do.

May 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 305:
Go outside and take a stroll without any expectations. Do not bring your mobile phone or any other distractions, and refrain from carrying a watch. Additionally, choose a different path than your usual one and let your curiosity guide you in selecting a direction.

May 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 304:
Select a book from your bookshelf, then select one page from that book and choose one sentence from that page. Next, pick another book from your shelf, select one page from it, and choose one sentence from that page. Repeat this process with a total of 25 books, writing down each chosen sentence below the other. Then, use these sentences to reconsider how you look at your room and your experience of it.

May 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 303:
Visualize your entire back as present as your front side. Invite someone to join you and initiate a conversation while facing away from each other. Begin to move your backs in a manner that represents or reinforces the situation.

May 4, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 301:
During your daily teeth brushing routine, take a few moments to create a choreography using your feet, the surface you're standing on, and the sound of your toothbrush bristles.

First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart on a flat surface such as your bathroom floor. Begin brushing your teeth, paying attention to the sound the bristles make as they touch your teeth. Next, try incorporating small foot movements such as stepping back and forth, shifting your weight from side to side, or adding a little bounce to your step. As you move, experiment with how the sound of the brushing changes based on the pressure you apply to the bristles.

Continue to explore the movements you can create with your feet and the surfaces around you while brushing your teeth. Maybe you can even try adding some arm movements or facial expressions.

May 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 300:
Different thoughts, different feelings, different body. Identify one common social situation that you have encountered today. For example, talking with a friend, waiting in a queue, dealing with a difficult colleague, etc. For the chosen situation, identify one aspect that requires flexibility and one that requires resistance. For example, in a conversation with a friend, you might need to be flexible in your communication style to adapt to their needs while also maintaining resistance in setting boundaries if the conversation becomes too personal. Take a couple of minutes to consider how you think about the resistance in the chosen situation. How does this feel in your body? Is there a particular place you feel it in your body? Do the same thing with what you find requires flexibility.

May 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 299:
Play a video on your laptop, facing the screen towards a wall. Focus on the light projected onto the wall, imagining it as the sound of your dance. Improvise a dance piece for as long as you desire, allowing the light to guide your movement

May 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 298:
Take a map that you use regularly in your daily life and use it as a starting point for 10 minutes of creative writing. Write without overthinking or censoring your ideas.

April 30, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 297:
Repeat the last movement of the past 30 seconds, aiming to be as detailed as possible.

April 29, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 296:
Sound has the capability of mingling easily with other sounds. Movements have this capability to a lesser extent. We often perceive two distinct movements instead of a unified one. Choose two movements that have a sound quality or make a sound themselves. Switch from one movement to the other with its own rhythm, making the transition from one movement to the other the most important part.

April 28, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 295:
Something I often do when I move is to think about how the air or wind flows through my bone structure. I imagine my bones are like leaves and how the wind plays with them. Imagine this for yourself and discover for a few minutes how this affects your movements.

April 27, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 294:
Look through your eyelashes into the world. This blurred world is somewhere between being open and closed. Look like this for 30 minutes at the world. Then, write about your experience for 10 minutes.

April 26, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 293:
Throughout a single day, one's mood can fluctuate significantly. For some, these fluctuations may be minor, whilst for others, they can be more pronounced. These mood changes can be viewed as a reflection of our relationship with our surroundings, our thoughts, and our connection with our own bodies. It's akin to an energy flow that we often disregard as it doesn't fit within our busy schedules. Therefore, today, try to take note of your changing moods and make some subtle adjustments. Instead of working against them, harness them. For instance, if you're feeling a sense of sadness, take a moment to slow down and appreciate the details around you. Conversely, if you're experiencing a burst of energetic or almost aggressive energy, consider engaging in activities that require more physicality and bravery. Personally, I find it immensely rewarding to experiment with this concept. It allows one to appreciate the temporal nature of emotional landscapes.

April 25, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 292:
"Consortium". If you find yourself in a situation today where you're feeling a lot of resistance, try to play and collaborate with that resistance instead. How can you use this resistance to your advantage and turn the situation into a playful and enjoyable one? Start by researching the specific topic in the situation that's causing the resistance. Create a small, almost invisible movement to work with this resistance. It should be a relaxing, joyful movement that creates space and improves your breathing. Every time you feel that resistance, do this small movement. Pay attention to the rhythm of the movement and when to do it, and when not to.

April 24, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 291:
Take a stroll in your neighbourhood and take note of the different sounds you hear. See how they affect your inner landscape, or perhaps not. Even the slightest change in mood can alter your walking pace - whether you slow down, speed up, take shorter steps, use your toes more instead of the ball of your foot, or experiment even further.

April 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 290:
Make yourself comfortable by lying on the floor, bed, or couch. Tune in to the sensation of your lips. How much of your lips can you feel, and what kind of sensation are you experiencing? Now, shift your attention towards your nose, cheeks, and chin. How much can you sense, and what are the sensations like? Gradually extend your focus to your eyes, the surrounding area, and jaws. Keep broadening your focus until you are trying to sense your entire body. Once you have achieved this, start perceiving things outside your body, such as the surface you are lying on and the air around your body. After this, stand up, give your body a little shake, and continue with your day.

April 22, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 289:
"Adventitious responses" - try not to plan out your response in advance during conversations today. Instead, actively listen until your friend has finished speaking, then offer a reply that begins with something you wouldn't typically say, but that could add an interesting dimension to the conversation.

April 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 288:
Lay down in your bed before going to sleep. Take a moment to sense how the mattress feels underneath you, almost like another body. Start to move your body, paying attention to how each movement creates an imprint on the mattress.

April 20, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 287:
The word "assent" has been on my mind quite often lately as I work on my movement practice. I find that there are often numerous self-imposed restrictions in my head about how to move, or what kinds of movements are considered "correct". These same limitations can also be found in everyday activities, such as sitting behind a laptop. So, as you sit there, take a few minutes to explore different ways of positioning yourself behind the screen.

April 19, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 286:
Imagine that the ground beneath you is like a skin, similar to your own. The Earth is composed of various materials and is not entirely solid. Instead, it is porous and sometimes dense. Additionally, the Earth's temperature varies. Take a moment to sit, lie down, or stand on the ground and contemplate this concept. Then, start moving and consider how the surfaces could interact in various ways.

April 18, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 285:
Choose a part of your body that you are particularly sensitive to, such as the corners of your mouth or the skin on your wrists. Then, find something in your environment that brings you a feeling of blissful touch or contact, like the gentle way the wind brushes against the leaves during spring or the softness of a cat's paws as they walk on the ground. Once you have identified this sensation, imagine it being transferred to the body part you chose. Take a few moments to breathe and focus on this feeling, then visualize it spreading throughout your entire body.

April 17, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 284:
Move at a languid pace while performing a daily task ( one that you find boring) as if time inside operates at a slower pace than outside. Pause frequently. Resist speeding up. Practice waiting, resting and rejuvenating.

April 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 283:
Go outside and stand in an open area where you can feel the wind on your body. Close your eyes and allow yourself to feel the sensation of the wind against your skin. As the wind blows, imagine it as a force moving through your body, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. Begin to move your spine in response to the movements of the wind. If the wind is blowing gently, move your spine slowly and smoothly, allowing your body to sway and flow with the wind. If the wind is blowing more forcefully, move your spine with more intensity, allowing your body to twist and turn in response.
Keep your eyes closed and focus on the sensations in your body as you move, paying attention to the way the wind is affecting your balance and your connection to the earth. Continue to move your spine in response to the wind for several minutes or until you feel a sense of release and relaxation.

April 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 282:
As you move, imagine that your bones are not just moving but drifting in the air. Imagine your bones as being weightless as they move through space. Pay attention to the sensations in your body.

April 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 281:
Take a heavy object in your surroundings that can be held in one hand. Visualize the object becoming a part of your body, then release it and begin moving while keeping in mind the sensation of holding the object. Continue with your daily activities while concentrating on the feeling of the object in your hand for as long as feasible.

April 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 280:
A constitutive mechanism that affects our daily lives is the circadian rhythm. It is the internal biological clock that regulates our sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and other bodily functions. The circadian rhythm is influenced by external cues, such as daylight and temperature, as well as internal cues, such as our genetics and behavior.

Our circadian rhythm affects many aspects of our daily lives, including our energy levels, mood, and cognitive function. Disruptions to our circadian rhythm, such as from jet lag or shift work, can have negative effects on our health and well-being.

For this movement assignment, choose a moment in the day when you feel very low on energy. Lie on the ground and observe how this tiredness feels in your body. Notice any micro-movements that you discover. Take the time to imagine that you are in a landscape where different things are happening.

April 12, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 279:
Have you reacted defensively to something today? If you were to choose a body posture to express this defense, what would it look like? Stand in this position for one minute, and then change to a position that you would have preferred to respond with.

April 11, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 278:
Dormancy refers to the state of hibernation that some animals enter into during the winter. During this period, the animal's metabolism slows down, their body temperature drops, and their physical activity significantly decreases. This allows the animals to conserve energy and survive when food and resources are scarce. Plants also exhibit dormancy during the winter or dry seasons, where they reduce their metabolic activity and become temporarily inactive until environmental conditions become more favorable for growth and development. If you feel that the environment is not favorable for you today, try slowing down for a few moments as if you are in a dormant state.

April 10, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 277:
If you are feeling stressed today, take a moment to look at the ground outside. Spend one minute using your senses to observe and learn as much as you can about the earth. Then, create a one-minute of movement to transfer this newfound knowledge into your body.

April 9, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 276:
Research amorphous structures: Start by researching and learning about amorphous structures. Amorphous structures are shapes that have no definite form or boundaries. They are often seen in nature and can be created by arranging objects in a non-linear, organic way. Look for examples of amorphous structures in nature. Experiment with movement: Once you have a basic understanding of amorphous structures, begin to explore these forms in movement. Experiment with different ways of moving your body to create amorphous shapes. Consider using your whole body, as well as individual body parts, to create shapes that are fluid and constantly changing.

April 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 275:
Embark on a stroll through nature, and begin moving slowly and deliberately. Pay close attention to the intricate details of your surroundings, taking note of the various movements - both minuscule and grand - that unfold around you.
Next, envision your physical being as an ecosystem akin to the lush forests and verdant fields encompassing you. Contemplate the myriad of bacteria and organisms that coexist within your body, akin to the plants and animals that flourish within the natural world. Allow yourself to be consumed by this notion for at least ten minutes, completely immersing yourself in the experience. Be mindful of any modifications in your perception of your own body or the environment around you. If a companion accompanies you, engage them in a dialogue surrounding this idea.

April 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 274:
Do the same assignment as yesterday, but today outside.

April 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 273:
Choose a shape: either a round receptacle or a stick-like shape. Once you're blindfolded, move around your room and locate the shape you've selected. Focus your attention on this object and research it carefully, paying attention to its texture, weight, and any other notable features. Consider how this object could be incorporated into your body, and imagine how it might feel to move and interact with it as if it were an extension of yourself.

April 5, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 272:
Focus on the concept of deformation. Consider how objects can be transformed or altered through changes in shape, size, or texture. Using this concept as a starting point, begin to move your body in ways that simulate deformation. For example, you could twist your torso to simulate a warped share, or contract and release your muscles to simulate changes in texture. As you move, pay attention to how the concept of deformation influences your movement choices.

April 4, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 271:
Begin by identifying the most mundane movements that occur from someone in your surroundings, and then start experimenting with those movements.

April 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 270:
Try to bring yourself as slowly as you can to the ground. Try to feel every shift of weight in your body.

April 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 269:
Allow the sound of a buzzing fly in the night to inspire a spontaneous dance. If no fly is present, seek out another insect, whether inside or outside your home, and allow its movements to guide your dance. Let the creativity of nature guide your body.

April 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 268:
Try to explore the movements that you can make with your mouth and a white piece of paper while contemplating the word "colonization."

March 31, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 267:
In this movement assignment, you will explore the sense of touch by interacting with various surfaces and bodies. Touch different surfaces around you, such as the ground, walls, or furniture, and notice if you feel any resistance before making contact. If not, try to touch with resistance. Next, explore touch with different bodies, including your own, a pet's, or a friend's, and notice any resistance before touching. Try to touch with resistance and then without resistance.

March 30, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 266:
Create a movement exploration using a twofold organization of your body, such as right and left, top and bottom, or front and back.

March 29, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 265:
Begin a movement exploration using your feet and hairbrush as a starting point.

March 28, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 264:
Select a newspaper and find as many different postures as possible within the images. Then, using your own body, replicate each of the postures that you find. 

March 27, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 263:
If you had tiny roots, what would standing look like to you? Would there be a change in your posture as you imagine this for some time?

March 26, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 262:
Select one body part, such as your finger, and find a place in the room to connect it to. Use this connection as a starting point for exploration, while maintaining the connection between your body and this focal point.

March 25, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 261:
Begin by taking a few steps and noticing the habitual structure of your walking. Pay attention to your posture, stride length, and foot placement. Next, start to experiment with small changes in your walking structure. This could include altering the angle of your foot placement, or adjusting the height of your steps. As you continue to walk, imagine that you are sculpting the space around you with your movements. Each step you take is like adding a new form or shape to your sculptural creation. Experiment with different speeds, directions, and levels of movement. Consider how each movement contributes to the overall sculpture you are creating.

March 24, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 260:
Listen carefully to the noises of the environment and identify one object within your reach. Once you have selected your object, explore its sound potential by moving it around. Try different ways of using the object to produce unique sounds, paying attention to the rhythm and tempo of your movements.
As you manipulate the object, imagine that you are composing a piece of music using the sounds of the environment. Be creative and experiment with various techniques to achieve a diverse range of sounds.

March 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 259:
In this movement assignment, you will focus on becoming aware of the warm and dark places in your body, such as under your arms, elbows, knees, between your toes, and other areas. As you move, keep your attention on these places and consciously keep them soft. This will not only help you to connect with your body but also bring a sense of ease and relaxation to your movements. Take the time to notice any sensations that arise in these areas, and allow yourself to fully experience them. By bringing awareness to these often overlooked parts of your body, you may discover new levels of comfort and fluidity in your movements.

March 22, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 258:
Take the time to research how many different movements you can make with your hands and fingers.

March 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 257:
How would you translate the word "dissolve" into movement? Frind different ways.

March 20, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 256:
What does an explosive movement look like to you? Perform five explosive movements.

March 19, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 255:
Find an object that is roughly the size of your head. Your task is to explore different ways of carrying this object by surcharging yourself with as many ways as possible. Consider different parts of your body that can be used to carry the object, such as your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, head, or even your feet.

March 18, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 254:
Start by moving slowly and quietly. Try to make your movements as silent as possible. Gradually increase your speed, but make sure you don't lose the quality of your silent movements. Pay attention to your body and how it moves through space. Can you feel the subtle shifts in your weight and balance as you move faster? Take your time and be mindful of each movement.

March 17, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 253:
Experiment with different movements and transitions that create a sense of being almost out of balance. Once you have a few movements you like, start to string them together into a dance sequence. Play with the tempo and dynamics to create a sense of tension and release in the dance.

March 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 252:
Begin by laying on the ground with your arms and legs extended, and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and start to visualize the bones in your body as if they were made of wood drifting on the water. Each bone is separate from the others, moving independently as they float on the surface. Spend ten minutes in this visualization, allowing your muscles to relax as much as possible.
After ten minutes, slowly move your limbs, but maintain the water-wood quality in your movements. Imagine you are still floating on the water, with each bone moving smoothly and independently. As you progress, keep your muscles relaxed and your breath steady. Continue for another ten minutes.

March 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 251:
"Walking with weight on the heels and weight in front: What does it do for your presence?"

March 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 250:
Explore the discomfort of your environment by finding the most challenging spot to sit in your house. Once you have identified it, take a seat and begin to playfully engage with all the discomforts you encounter. Experiment with your posture and movements, shifting and adjusting to find new ways to adapt to the discomforts. Embrace the challenge of the situation and allow yourself to be curious about the sensations that arise.

March 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 249:
Imagine that your eyes have transformed into skin. Visualize your newly evolved skin-eyes, sensing the environment around you through touch and texture, rather than relying on sight. Move your head slowly from side to side, feeling the subtle changes in the air and the surface beneath you. Notice how the textures and sensations differ from what you would typically see. With each movement, allow yourself to fully immerse in this alternate mode of perception, and explore the world through your new skin-eyes.

March 12, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 248:
Choose one object from your house that you can hold comfortably. Feel the weight and texture of the object in your hand. Take a few deep breaths, and bring your attention to the center of your body, just below the navel. Begin to move with the object in your hand. You can move in any way that feels natural - walking, spinning, swaying, etc.
As you move, try to maintain your focus on the center of your body. Notice how the weight and texture of the object affects your movement. Rather than seeing the object as something separate from your body, try to integrate it into your movement. Feel how the object becomes an extension of your body. Spend a few minutes exploring movement with this object. Try moving in different directions, at different speeds, and with different levels of intensity. When you feel ready, set the object down and choose a different one to explore. Repeat steps 2-7 with each object you choose. Remember to stay connected to the center of your body throughout the exercise.

March 11, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 247:
Choose a few movements that challenge your balance. As you move through each exercise, focus on the coordination between your movements and your nervous system. Notice how your body adapts and responds to each movement and how your nervous system helps you to maintain balance and control.

March 10, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 246:
Begin initiating movements using your elbows and knees, and continue for as long as desired.

March 9, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 245:
Find an audiobook, radio show, or podcast and listen to it for 8 minutes. While listening, keep a pen and paper handy and write down all the words that catch your attention or that you are gravitated towards. These could be words that stand out to you for any reason, whether they are repeated often, have a unique sound, or have a personal connection for you. Look through the list of words you wrote down and choose three you feel drawn to. For each of the three words, write a short memory associated with that word. Use these memories to create a short dance piece or video performance. Consider how you can incorporate movement and gesture to evoke the memories you have associated with each word. Think about the mood and tone of the memories, as well as any physical details that stand out to you.

March 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 244:
Begin by taking a few deep breaths and focusing your attention on your body and your emotions. Think about situations or experiences that make you feel irritated. Start to move in a way that reflects the feeling of irritation, using sharp, angular movements that convey tension and frustration. For example, you might start with a series of jerky arm movements as if you are swatting away an annoyance. Let your movements build in intensity, allowing your body to express the full range of your irritation. Incorporate stomping, pacing, or other movements that convey a sense of restlessness or agitation.

March 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 243:
Begin by gathering a variety of objects from around your room that have different textures and shapes. These could include a tennis ball, a rolling pin, a scarf, a brush, a wooden spoon, or any other object that you can comfortably roll, press or rub against your feet. Set up a comfortable and safe space where you can move and access the objects without tripping or slipping. Start by warming up your feet with some basic stretching exercises. Wiggle your toes, flex and point your feet, and rotate your ankles to get your feet ready for the massage. Choose one object and use it to massage your feet. Roll it under your arches, press it against your heels, or rub it along the soles of your feet. Experiment with different pressures and movements to see what feels best for you. As you massage your feet, notice how the texture and shape of the object affects the sensations in your feet. Pay attention to any areas that feel particularly tight or sore, and focus on those spots for a few extra moments. After a few minutes, switch to a different object and continue massaging your feet. You can use a different object for each foot, or alternate between objects on the same foot. As you move from object to object, try to incorporate some simple movements or gestures with your feet. For example, you could point your toes while rolling a ball under your arches, or lift your heels while rubbing a brush along the soles of your feet. Play with the different textures and shapes of the objects to create a short dance piece or improvisation. You could experiment with rolling or tossing the objects, balancing them on different parts of your feet, or using them to create rhythms or patterns.

March 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 242:
Stand in a neutral position with your feet hip-width apart, arms resting by your sides.Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of your spine. Imagine that your spine has a sense of touch, like your fingertips, and can feel every movement you make. Begin to move your spine in a slow, gentle, and fluid manner, as if it were exploring its surroundings. Allow your spine to move freely and without tension, focusing on the sensations of each vertebrae. Experiment with different movements, such as bending forward, arching backward, twisting to the left and right, and rolling from side to side.

March 5, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 241:
Find a comfortable place where you can sit or stand without any distractions. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body. Begin to listen to the sounds in your environment without trying to identify them. Just listen to the quality, pitch, rhythm, and intensity of the sounds. Pay attention to how each sound affects your body. Notice if you feel any physical sensations or changes in your body in response to each sound. Do you feel it more in a specific area of your body, like your pelvis or head? Continue to listen for 10-15 minutes or until you feel satisfied with your exploration.

March 4, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 240:
Start by focusing on the sensations and abilities of your hands. What do you feel when you move them? What are some of the things that you can do with them, such as gestures, grips, or manipulations? Using these sensations and abilities as inspiration, start to experiment with movements of your feet that mimic or complement those of your hands. For example, if your hands are making flowing, circular movements, try to create similar movements with your feet.

March 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 239:
Take a moment to observe the sky and pay attention to the quality of its movement and the feelings it evokes within you. Then, you are instructed to transfer that quality and feeling into the movements of your feet while walking, dancing or running. The goal is to imbue your feet with the same sense of grace and fluidity you observed in the sky.

March 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 238:
Begin in a completely dark space. Remove your shoes so that you are in bare feet. Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Experiment with different types of eye movements. You might try focusing on a single point and moving your eyes around it or shifting your gaze from one object to another. As you move, try to feel the ground beneath your feet. Allow your feet to connect with the surface and feel the textures and temperatures. Play with different qualities of movement. You might move quickly and fluidly or slowly and with more deliberate intention. Use your body to create different shapes and formations. You might crouch down low, stretch upwards, or twist your torso. Continue to move and explore the space for several minutes. When you are ready, start to slow down your movements and come to a stop. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to arrive fully in the present moment. Reflect on your experience. How did the darkness and bare feet affect your movement? How did the movement of your eyes influence your overall experience?

March 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 237:
Choose a location where you can feel the cold weather, such as a park, the forest, or a balcony. Stand in the space and take a few deep breaths, feeling the temperature of the air on your skin. Start moving your body slowly and intuitively, exploring how the cold weather and touch of the environment affects your movements. Pay attention to how your skin reacts to the cold, and incorporate these sensations into your movement. Can you use shivering or goosebumps as a way to create a movement quality? Finally, think about how the environment and your skin interact with each other, and use this awareness to inform your movements.

February 28, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 236:
Look at your room and objects in your room as a soundscape. Make a piece of music with your room and the objects.
