The Diamond Mind II

The Diamond Mind II by Linda Zeb Hang

In this dance training, the people will use a one-minute film of their own movement as material for a booklet—a sixteen page signature—that distributes their presence, their gesture, as an act of EQ. 

Distribution EQ is experienced through resourceful memory: the embodiment of affective power, a specific emotional architecture whose warbling nest is revealed through session and the slip-stream. The psycho-aesthetic signature is cultivated by impermanent transparencies: the moving form in film, and the resulting printed matter of collage. Yielding pathologies both physical and psychic.
