Written By ABQ Dance Connect

Conversation Starter

Reflection. Fracturing. Inverting. And Memory. Have you ever thought about the complexity of memory? People often have contradictory takes on the same experience. We either interpret differently, or time, added experience, and related conversations morph into our memories and change them unbeknownst to ourselves. Discuss the phenomenon.

Exploratory

Use the terms above - Reflection, Fracturing, Inverting - to create different takes on a known movement phrase. Film it and put it away. Do this with partners a few times over the next few weeks. Return to your memory of the first effort. Could it have changed?
