namaste

wendell is my name, but I am essentially the same as you. I am of different form, but we are one. This is what I celebrate. this is a place of exploration to what I feel is my truth in any given moment. It is an expression of the glimpses in the moment that I experience as I try to bring them to life through my writing and capture them through photos. It is my practice, it is my laboratory, it is my playground

Of Being, Movement and Improvs


I just love doing improvs these days. I feel like I am reflecting the kind of energy dynamics that I have in that moment of brief exploration of expression. That we, as beings of form and energy has the capability to express by just being what we truly are. Seeing my colleagues just go for that empty black floor this morning was very inspiring, and knowing that we actually come from different parts of the world has made it even more of like a spiritual experience for me. It was like seeing how the world move in different forms - from capoeira like movements to linear dance like improvs to almost mystical character expressions. Then all of a sudden, our trainer just asked me, "What if all the people in the world begin to dance all together?" (I just made a sigh) hahaha. He said, i think it would be a more peaceful world don't you think so - you know, people will be going from the sixth chakra to the fourth". (How cool is that!) This morning's improv was really beautiful, and courageous at that. I know that it was really hard for some to dive and expose themselves to such, but you know what, it was a beautiful dive. I was thinking about that question, and to see this group of people just go for expressing their dynamic selves out in the open, is truly a thing of beauty. We are form. we are energy. To express oneself in movement is entering the realm of both worlds. This morning was pure expression of life's creative light - and to see people from all over the world say unlimited things in a confined space can only be described as pure enchantment.
