PARALLELA WORLD OF YOUR OWN
PARALLEL ORIGINALS / Practice project

One movement, three directions

Keep the movement and rhythm, changing only where it faces.

Choose a familiar movement

Choose a simple familiar action, such as opening the hands from in front of the chest. Give it a clear beginning and ending. Do not add more movements; observe what direction contributes.

Try front, side, and diagonal

Try the action toward the front, side, and a forward diagonal. You can change only the upper-body direction and gaze, without a quick turn. Keep the timing consistent and compare whether each version feels like an invitation or a private thought.

Arrange a sequence

Put the versions into a short sequence with a clear pause between them. The order might move from private attention toward another person, or the reverse. Draw arrows first, then try the phrase so it can be repeated later.

Make it a small practice

  1. Keep one movement and one rhythm.
  2. Try three directions.
  3. Record the order and pauses with arrows.
