Dear Diary,
Today was a good day, a fragile day... uh, just kidding.
Hullo there! My name is Rosa Lisbeth Navarrete and I started this blog with my partner in crime Robyn Anne Taylor. We are both embarking on project currently called, The Untitled Identity Project. Welcome to the madness. I am writing tonight from Utah. Today marks day six of my Laban Movement Analysis experience with Integrated Movement Studies. It has been very informative learning about movement qualities, forms, and shapes. I can't wait to use this knowledge for our film.
The last time I saw Robyn we were strolling together on the sidewalks of San Francisco chasing Amara Tabor-Smith's performers down the street. We had a small farewell after the "He Moved Swiftly..." performance on June 15th with our dear friend Mikhaila, who will also be doing a dance workshop in Brazil.
As of today, we know our documentary will have multiple themes, like: dance, gender dynamics, immigration, and the transition that occurs in the self through the process of assimilation. This project is also about our friendship, and what we discover about ourselves in the process of learning about movement communication.
Robyn and I have been friends for about two years now. This project holds a lot at stake for us as movers, writers, and researchers. We are recent UC Berkeley graduates, we are women, we come from different backgrounds, but we want to live life to the fullest and share our journey you.
Right now, our main goal is to raise money for our trip and hone down on our traveling plans. Follow our blog--follow our steps! See how you can help make this project come alive. More soon!
