The shifting of balance from one point to another - reaching always towards a point where one might be stable but never, reaching it, reaching for impossibility. Enjoying the constant movement, relax. To tense up to reach and try to hold stasis is to fall. Always falling - to walk is to fall forward. To walk on the floor with the same consideration as if on a rope creates the paradoxical possibility of falling off the floor and being caught by the same.
The illusion, constant movement. Never static. never stable.
How to work with these ideas?
Remove myself. (screenwash) re-do. better. different. clearer.
Remove the rope. (ariel) but still too close to 'look how clever/dangerous' the need for intense focus is sidelined by the 'sensational' visual of danger.
Work with film yes... the body's eyes. (screen wash) (so many ways...) forehead, palm, palm, sternum, hips. Live? Monitors? Durational? five images overlaid? five images on one screen? Long exposure photography? Traces? But what of the true sensation of walking with the back? The neck?
Work live? (cathedral) How to show the focus, the shifting but removing the 'circus' from the skill. How to work with meditative sensibility but without it becoming 'meditation themed circus'? Remove the circus from the skill, remove the imagery from the meditation. Reduce it to its most constituent parts - balance.
