Praesence Future Score
Score introduction: This score has been created to bring an awareness to the many temporalities in the here and now or praesence. This is an exploration into the ways in which a future orientation might bring a charged energy to our embodied experience of the present.
Focus on your breath and start to orient yourself in the surrounding space.
If you’re indoors, notice the height of the ceiling, the height and color of each wall,
any doors or windows, and any other details that stand out.
…
Now from this spot on the floor I’d like you to imagine moving to a new place in the
room, as fast as you can when I count to five.
Imagine yourself moving so fast that it’s almost like you just arrive in that new space
in one count.
See yourself already there. See yourself moving with speed and intention
1, 2…
Feel your muscles and fascia, neurons and bones prepare themselves
3…
Feel a sense of anticipation in every cell
4, 4 and a half…
Now slowly get up, and move, but still holding onto this state of readiness and availability that we’ve just built up.
Can you move while still holding the echo of anticipation in your cells?
