About The Residency.

This residency is focused on change and manifesting change.

How do we hear and see life? And what do we feel towards the constant change that is life, changes that spring on us and changes that arrive after much consideration? How do we inspire change within ourselves, surroundings, interactions and practices? How do we experience change if and when we pay attention to it? How do we seek change and how do we accept it? Are we listening and how do we practice listening?

INTUITION ATTEMPT CHANGE


How can one inspire change in their selves, surroundings, interactions and practices and how do we see it IF and WHEN we pay ATTENTION and look closely. How do we seek change when we mandate it, when we crave it, when our intuition determines How do we accept change when it occurs, when we feel the wave of change within ourselves or transpiring from the external are we performing and being in ways that inspire others to rethink their choices of words or behaviors? What conversations are we having with our communities to manifest change even if not verbally, How do we hire our bodies to declare, our presence to depict, our expression to advise, our gestures to delineate? How do we trust our intuition and keep promises and still forgive ourselves when we dont keep them .What are our common languages or manifestations for conveying? How do we listen to other people, where are we then? Where do we position ourselves in their story ?How do we see from our lens of life and experience while permitting other visions to intervene, blur or clarify our perception, observation or impression? 

When our eyes meet

Our tongues articulate 

Our mouths utter 

Our hands gesture 

Or when we shriek

What connects us and what separates us from each other, what differentiates us from each other but lets us stand, sit, lay down, in the same sphere, does change happen when we are scared of it or terrified of doubting ourselves!


How do we construe jaws or muddle them in ways that pose questions on our morality and logic?  Our contributions of kindness and love are cardinal, perceptible and valid we live with other people but our existence is often examined and suspicted and at times objectionable We feel it, it is told to us, it surfaces in their eyes and words ,our strengths are distinguished but what about our weaknesses that we feel every day but conceal to seem like we have things under control, when we don't always or constantly have to We are powerful in commonality but we are rarely together, making together, thinking together, sharing with each other. does the self see the collective, the bigger picture, the nature, the rest of the living entities or have we become to busy with loving or thumping our own  
The worth of our lives, the worth of our happiness is always at stake  Our happiness is undoubtedly disrupted by a look, a nod, a laugh, a slap, a fist and sometimes a full fall how do we choose happiness how do we appreciate the moments we get of it How do we keep seeing when we fall, knowing we will raise again and again and again while accepting what we have learned not to raise and walk the same way we did before

No Change No Future
