I like your use of 'grappling': ghosts, haunting etc. are tricky words because they could seem to imply mystification of something that I'm trying to anchor in the bodily experience. Grappling is very active. You might be interested in this short article I wrote a couple of years ago about the making of a dancefim which explores kinaesthetic and kinetic processes of 'inhabiting' (and being inhabited by) the mnemonic traces of places. The article focuses mainly on the physical practices that we used to facilitate exploration of imaginatively created virtual spaces: <http://theperipateticstudio.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/sue-hawksley-traces-of-places/> Also, in my previous post I referred to Elizabeth Dempster - I meant Elizabeth Behnke. Apologies to both Elizabeths. Behnke's piece, which you might find of interest is: “Ghost Gestures: Phenomenological Investigations of Bodily Micromovements and Their Intercorporeal Implications, ” Human Studies 20, (1997), pp.181–201. all the best, Sue SUE HAWKSLEY independent dance artist s...@articulateanimal.org.uk http://www.articulateanimal.org.uk _______________________________________________ empyre forum empyre@lists.cofa.unsw.edu.au http://www.subtle.net/empyre
