Improvisation Distillation by the loch - Day 2 (an attempt)

I rode my bike and the warm summer air breezed past my skin. Flies flew at me and into my eyes and face.
I stopped by the loch with the reeds higher than me. The ground was muddy and giving way beneath me.
To dance I need some stability below my feet. I felt exposed - an addition to the surroundings, not blending in amongst them.

This day just wasn’t a good dancing day for me. I still tried to put my camera down and start moving, my surroundings were so beautiful but as I was dancing I was tripping over and sinking into mud, and I was by a road side and I felt exposed and vulnerable. I wasn’t even playing any music because I felt it would expose me further. I still wanted to document this moment though and I want to pull the positives from this experience. I think the camera set up along side the little improvisation I did has pulled together some interesting (by no means professionally taken or edited) images. These are stills from the two videos I took this day that I went through and grabbed some frames from. I can really see the frustration on my face, and the contrast of the camera angle of each video is interesting in how it relates to what I wrote about my inability to blend into my surroundings. Half of the images I’m placed directly in front of the surroundings and half of the images my body is distorted by the nature around me. I think I can use these images as inspiration to help me consider the possibilities around how I place myself in the environment and what perspective I capture by setting up the frame.
