<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In “Phantom
Sensation” project we work at the intersection of dance and neuroscience, dwell
and examine in practical and theoretical terms the phenomenon of phantom
sensations. What we try to understand is if and how the phantomic experience of
reality can inform the movement improvisational practices, and whether it can
create a distinctive frame for thinking about some aspects of performance. It
is a transdiciplinary venture. </span><br />

<br />
To the
workshop we invite everyone who would like to experience and play with what we
call “phantomic sensation”. Through exercises involving touch, words, work with
partner and eyes closed we will investigate different<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>modes of sensorial, attentional<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and physical engagement in body awareness processes.
From this point we will explore our moving-selfs.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the open
moment<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we will share and discuss our
research - concept of phantomic sensation and address the specificity of work
emerging from the dialog between experience and neuroscientific knowledge.</span><br />

As if dance would derive from testing and learning new ways of functioning. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Body that may transgress a common, daily formation. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Body that dwells a certain “thing”, something that describes a body. So the body may become “something”, where the “something” might be an action as well, or a memory or a creature. And that <i>something</i> is being processed while moving. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What happens when the stimulation comes ? How do I allow a stimulation to be translated? So we often touch each other. The touch we work with is also that which I have learned from Rosalind Crisp. For the stimulation we are borrowing, and using her tools. There is a vast of information that might be transferred through touch. Stimulating touch – one that contains variety of qualities and potentiality of movement may trigger an imaginary world for the receiver. <i>Allowing</i> appears to be an issue. It is up to the receiver what she ( as we are three females working in the project) will do with the stimulation, how she takes it into movement, or will be taken by it.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Sometimes we work with as least informative touch as possible, kind of a <i>pancake</i> or a <i>tart</i>. It is not very exciting, but we value, it gives warmth, and with time the information melts to the body, does not give much stimuli, but it is up to the receiver what she might do with that place under the <i>pancake</i>. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Within the <i>phantomic sensation</i> research we are also searching and finding<i> something underneath</i>, that may underlay performative presence, and movement – <i>something else</i> to the will, something that leaves a trace, and triggers difference in a body schema, evoking mental images as well...</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">And that difference in the body schema may become visible for a viewer, when the body image changes.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Body that is reformulating itself while moving. Body that can surrender to the image from within – a proprioceptive image, by inhabiting for instance different qualities of touch that it receives. Body that discovers its functionality a new.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Where are the borders of the body, and how they change in this practice ? Reference to phantoms certainly point that aspect. How do we feel, and experience as real that what emancipates itself in loss?</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">There is also a certain pleasure in a state where the body comes in a contact with an <i>environment </i>(understanding that term after Lisa Nelson). When coming in contact with an environment a relation happens. Relation within – with <i>self, </i>with a trace of the stimuli, with an image that may arise, with the desire which might be fulfilled in movement, with the space we share, with time. (We did not work with focus on relation to space and time directly, as for some of us it was already supportive issue) We worked mostly with translating various touch-stimuli, observing images that may arise, letting them go either in movement or in saying stories – that might be touch-stimuli-image reports, or memories, or streams of associations, or others.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Coming in the contact with environment gives a possibility to experience something pleasent, something profound– forgetting oneself, a potential of union... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">Engaging
into the topic of phantom sensations which is in neuroscience often
debated in terms of neural body representations (body image, body
schema), the question we needed to consider right at the beginning
was „what body we work with?”- how the body is defined as a
material to shape with experiences.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">We
chose our working body to be available and accessible for stimuli and
any kind of responses, alert to its constant transformation,
reorganisation, a fluently changing sensual form, which is uncertain
or even does not know its own shape or constitution. Informed by
reports of sensations in phantom limbs, in which the body schema
built from sensory and proprioceptive information creates another
body structure than the representational body image, the body we work
with could only be the one adaptive to sensory input, which
re-constitues itself due to sensory re-mapping.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">Along
the researching process, we found suspected support in somatic
approaches, neuroscience and experiential reports. For instance, in
Body-Mind Centering</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">"the
'mind' of each cell, body tissue, and fluid, expressed in feeling
states, posture, and movement patterns, is by nature open to the
constant flow of momentary change”.*</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">Interestingly,
it is the 'mind' of cells which has the property to allow constant
transformation. Here the concept of the body meets one of the fresh
definitions of the mind in neuroscience, the view of mind as a
„process that regulates the flow of energy and information”**.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">This
definition entails that mind is subject to ceaseless recreating its
content, continuously formulating its matter. Moreover, it has a
sense of intentionality – being a process heading somewhere, even
if the goal realises rather in sequences (streams) of temporary
states, than any arrival point.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">As
dance artist Gill Clarke states, „mind in a sense IS motion”***.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">The
integrity of the body and mind concepts invites to employ rather one
consistent entity than analyze two separate processes. Following Gill
Clarke, this entity may be the self which encompass integrated body
and mind, defined with the described qualities. In this case not the
body and the mind, but the self is undergoing or designing its own
constant transformation of the matter. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">While
the term "self" allows us avoid the dualism, it brings up
another broad territory of psychological and philosophical discourse.
However, it may function well when working with multimodal events,
where sensations, stimulations, images, cultural associations,
memories, bodily states, movement, gesture are all mixed together and
inseparably bound with each other. </span></span></div>

<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Back in Budapest. </span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">After first week of exploration and revisiting exercises from our last meeting, we arrived at the point where many of the roads we took before came together to create a potential playground for the phantomic sensation to become present through movement, words and touch. </span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Curious to experience the tangential point of phenomenological and physical body* we were experimenting with the space between attention directed to various places on the body and actual tactile stimulation. Through this practice we observed the life cycle of sensation transformed to movement.</span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>

That satisfied our curiosity for sensing and feeling, but awaked a desire for more stimulation – a touch that would deliver reacher motivation and prompts for action. As we noticed, a variety of touch qualities (as knocking, pressure, sliding on the surface, etc...) evokes not only somatic sensations but inevitably the non verbal, yet non conceptual somatic imagery. That realm of imagery opened up our field of inquiry.</span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">

<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What happens if we do not only constrain the response to embodying images in movement but allow any arising associations deriving from touch, to enter our consciousness and to be verbalized and spoken out loud? Taking this question into practice, we discovered that verbalized and embodied sensations and images can create multimodal realities including touch, movement and words. Though rather then collection of elements the multimodal realities become eclectic set with the inner logic of relations involving narrative events.</span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">

<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This practice enables us to access particular state which might unfolds many different phenomenological existences, disguised by a physical body. </span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Following this direction we can play with a physical body as an interface which runs and displays different programs of phantomic being. </span></div>

phantomic experiences because though in many ways the nature of these traces is
ungraspable, the studies in phantom sensations show how very much the
subjective experience of a phantom sensation can be objectified or shared with
the other via the image of brain activity. Though in medicine phantom studies
are mostly occupied with developing ways of treatment, thanks to which patient who
undergo amputation or stroke would develop the “better match” between the
feeling and the body, some scientist propose that the demystification of the
current-day concepts of “the self” will be amongst the foremost future
prospects of phantomology.” (Balnke, Matzinger 2009, Brugger 2012)</span></div>

sensations may give a specific insight to the body mind relation. One can
trace changes in the interpretations of this phenomena throughout the history - from more spiritual ones to entirely scientific.</span>.. </div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Descartes was reflecting on the problem in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meditations on First Philosophy</i>, placing
in the fact that some people whose arm or leg have been amputated still
occasionally feel pain in the missing limb, the basic distrust towards the
body: “this lead me to think that I could not be quite certain even that any
one of my members was affected when I felt pain”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Phantom limbs as bodily hallucinations appear very
late in the literature (unlike visual or auditory hallucination). In 1870 Silas
Weir Mitchell first gave them the name – but introduces the issue initially in
form of a fiction story (“The case of George Dedlow”) published anonymously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a story about a man who loses his legs
in the war, and then through the help of an eclectic doctor and a medium rejoins
the spirit of his missing legs for one session – in which he can even walk on
them. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Later<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in “Injuries
of nerves” (1872) Mitchell writes in the still quite “spiritual style” about
the topic: “Nearly every man who loses a limb carries about with him a constant
or inconstant phantom of the missing member , a sensory ghost of that much of
himself. “</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Yesterday on the way to
a.pass, when I went out at the tram stop and headed towards canal, I started to,
while keeping attention to my walk, revisit my sensations from the way I went
through till the tram stopped. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I was wondering if I can
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">parallelize </i>experience that lasted
for some time with the one I am having now, keeping the track of two
sensational realities at once.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I only managed to have
some short parallelities, some more intentionally driven, some less:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While walking simultaneously dawn the stairs in my house and up the road
in Molenbeeck I almost freeze when feel the nervous jump done some 20 minutes
ago in the moment when I think that I forgot the keys in the room, and maybe the
telephone too. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Carrying my heavy bag on the right arm, walking through zebra crossing,
I put it down on the floor of the corridor and bend to look inside. The
telephone is there, and I have it here somewhere under my armpit in the bag. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then sitting in the tram, feeling my back leaning upon sof, but filthy
seat, and walking is not so easy. Just giving attention to this parallel is
making me turn my pelvis in, bend my knees and give more weight to the back of
my body having the legs leading me in a funny way, which is not at all
comfortable position to walk.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is easier for me to feel the
gesture of folding my skirt together after adjusting myself to the new sit in
the tram, and looking down on to my feet rhythmically appearing one ahead of
the other in front of me, on <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the
pavement. Do I fell this motion in the tram?</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then looking at the Japanese men in front of me, who suddenly starts to
turn his palms, as if giving warm-up to his wrist before a Kung-Fu class, he
does it for very long, lifting the hand high,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>and I feel my wrist turning too,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>a smile on my face,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and suddenly
a row of chickens on the roasting spit on my left side, turning too. And then
there is a street corner, I jump again, because I think I just missed my stop,
and run to the doors when realizing, it’s not really a stop, it’s a fish shop
stinking really bad, again on my left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then I look <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the book which I
hold in the left hand: </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the mentoring Robert Steijn
asked me if I do the exercises with the eyes closed, and if so, why? He
considers eyes open as a more natural state even in improvisation with
proprioceptive basis, and that there is “something strange” happening with the
self-experience when the eyes are closed. He told me he prefers to keep them
open, when he goes on a journey and meets his ghosts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw him in performance, and he was closing
his eyes many times for extended periods, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and I am wondering now, was he trying to make
it more dramatic for the audience or more real for himself. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The thing about the
vision is that it’s not as neutral as it seems,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>because it simply overrides the other senses. The brain decides to trust
it more, maybe because it seems more intersubjective than for example tactile
and proprioseptive sensations. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But even then, vision executes
more power over the other senses than just sustained domination. It can include
them as part of the synesthetic image created, but mostly if they support the
visual assumption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally “proprioceptive
signals which overtly disagree with the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>visual ones are not used for adaptation, while those which largely agree
with visual ones are used to enhance adaptive recalibration “(Pipereit,k. et.at
2006). The use of mirror in Ramashandran’s therapy of phantom limbs pain is
very much based on this assumption of the visual overriding <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the proprioceptive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One man<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>lost his hand in a violent accident provoked
by a machine. The man was operated and did not have phantom sensations
afterwards, but when he received a very expensive and good looking prosthesis he
started to have terrible nightmares, and could not sleep anymore. He decided to
resign from prosthesis and everything went back to “normal”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It seems that having the
“arm back”, the trauma of losing it so abruptly was back too. I wander if by
some proprioceptive exercises with the eyes closed he could actually develop a
sufficient distrust in his visual system, which otherwise provokes the traumatic
illusion of the prosthesis being a real hand, by using the still active phantom
potential of the lost hand. Could it be that through some exercises the man <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">at the same time</i> could see the hand, but
not allow his proprioceptive phantom sensation merge with it?</span></div>

What we try to understand is if and how the phantomic experience of reality can inform the movement improvisational practices, and whether it can create a distinctive frame for thinking about some aspects of performance. It is a transdiciplinary venture.<br />
<br />
Broadly speaking phantom sensation refers to "dissociations between physical and phenomenal body shapes" (Hilti and Brugger, 2009), and its clinical descriptions refer to conscious perception and sensation of body parts that are paralysed or are no longer present. The nature of it remains ungraspable by the scientific method: in search of cure for some phantom sensations that cause pain, more than 50 different therapeutic approaches have been developed (Weiss, 2008). <br />
<br />
In our approach phantomic experience of reality relates to the life cycle of the sensation. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the end when we think about the phantom sensations, we can actually see it as something very natural - as a prolonged or sustained process of adaptation to a different/new environment in which certain stimuli is physically no longer present. </span><br />

We will work in two blocks in a city of Budapest. In February we meet all three together for the first time.<br />
Our aim for this period is to experiment with different task-based exercises, examine the one that we know (ex. BMC or Feldenkrais method, as well as some tools from Rosalind Crisp's choreographic improvisation) and develop variations of them, that could enable us to understand better the topic of our research. We are creating a pool of exercises, experiences, ideas and images in which we will be able to navigate.<br />
