Praesence Score: Connectivity
(standalone version)
Score introduction: The aim of this score is to enable the participant to sense themselves with and as part of praesence, which can be understood as a dynamic cosmos or field of human and more than human connections. This score could be used as a warm up, part of a rehearsal process or an immersive experience in and of itself. The score can be done sitting or standing, ideally with eyes open or half open.

Take a moment to check in with yourself and arrive in the present, in the here and now what are the sensations of nowness? If you do not feel in the present, how does that feel?
Take a moment to find a sense of rootedness, to yourself
Then gradually expand your awareness to the outside. Perhaps you can hear people, cars, and other movements happening, in the distance.
Gradually bring your focus into the space that you’re in. What are you noticing? Notice the temperature, the presence of walls around you, the reach of your kinesphere perhaps you can sense the edge of your kinesphere without moving?. and then gradually focus in on your breath
Notice how or if your breathing gives a sense of spreading, expanding from and contracting back towards your centre. Feel yourself draw breath in and release it into space.
Allow your breath to help you feel connected to and part of the world.
At the same time allow your breath connect to your cells
Feel your cells in constant motion, still rooted but always dynamic
Respond to sensation of movement in the cells.
Perhaps move your attention to different areas of your body, feeling those cells light up, alive, present
Move focal light or charged energy through you body up to the surface of the skin.
Feel this boundary soften, become more warm and permeable.
Feel the energy of your body shining out into the space.
And gradually can I invite you to become aware that the space around you is not empty, it is full, with particles, electrons, oxygen, thoughts, feelings.
See if you can sense them with your being
See if you can sense them move around, through and with your body
A sense of aliveness and a sense of connectivity.
Dynamic cells, shifting particles, different energies, all alive.
