Outline
This is an essay in several parts. I am going to talk about the mind, navigating around ideas, experiences, and formation of knowledge, the learning process, as related to the improvisational aspect of my practice. This in turn brings in the gut, from which is closely tied to the mind, although they don't always speak the same language. The process of arriving, getting there, moving through thought and practice. Inspired by IC-98's Foucault's Sleep, I will relate my ideas along the format of an archipelago. By approaching Ideas as Islands, I will investigate and chart the landscape and vast waters of the brain and body. I will talk about repetition (Smith), circling around ideas, revisiting ideas as a journey (Bateson, Sehgal), as if in a boat, navigating around the island, looking at the problem from different angles. How relating sequences and devising narrative structure (Smith, Calle) foster relationships between subjects, bring an experience, new perspective, sedimentation, growth, an ecology of mind (Bateson). Through Bateson, I will focus on human pattern recognition, systems, learning while doing, connecting mind and body.

The initial outset of the collection, curiosity cabinet, archipelago, again serves as a way to visit a few different aspects. Further examination will bring a red thread, diverging paths leading to new insights and already acquired knowledge.

I will question the term nonlinearity, as in my opinion every person has their own linearity. I will get to this by way of Joel Ryan's ideas Knowing When, a lecture on how the body and brain work together to organize the performer's objective sense of time.
