me doing into it doing itself

One of the things that Katye Coe and I have been focused on in the studio is the remarkably subtle shift that happens between a very expansive and open awareness that is the consequence of attention, and the feeling that a similarly open awareness is happening of its own accord. Katye beautifully captures this distinction as “me doing into it doing itself”.

I’ll get more into this another time as it seems to be at the phenomenological heart of these movement improvisations Katye and I are practicing. My initial hunch is that these oscillatory experiences (between me doing and it doing itself) are different by degree, and not by kind.
