How Do You Feel?
Gary Stockdale Nick Konow View this post on Instagram You read one question, but I am asking two. One asks you to take inventory and the other inquires how you look for it. I have always been particularly aware of the tensions I carry (emotional or physical), but early into my […]
See Me So I Can See Myself
Nick Konow View this post on Instagram Some audio on seeing and being seen, on the stories we tell others and those stories we tell ourselves. The visual, meaningless. I am a screensaver. I am a dolphin swimming in the ocean. A post shared by N I C K K O […]
Work, Play, Learn
Nick Konow View this post on Instagram In a sped up reality of fast-forword consumption, set on getting to the meat of things, the “what’s in it for me?”, the “teach me the most efficient HACK to personal well-being and greatness and please GOD let it be digestible and easy!”, I […]
Your Feelings are Your Own
Nick Konow View this post on Instagram The pedagogy which contains these elements (among a sea of others) is @portal.ido’s. The vocabulary itself, borrowed from capoeira, Laban, Bartenief and other sorted perspectives. The kinetic sensation experienced and inhabited, my own. Let us speak less of systems, theories and creators. Let us speak […]
Me & Mine
Nick Konow View this post on Instagram I am the best dancer I know. ??That’s not fair nor accurate. I am my favorite dancer. ??That’s better. Like this dance for instance. In the video above. You probably won’t watch the whole thing. You don’t watch the whole thing when I share a […]
Call Me
Nick Konow “Call me everyday.” That’s what he said, so that’s what I did. This was 7 or so years ago and my 2nd of many AA Meetings. The man who told me to call was a man I met that very night. I asked him to be my sponsor that night, too. That’s […]
A Man Waves
Nick Konow View this post on Instagram Maybe the best Monday morning tutorial most of you WON’T DO. #DANCEMINUTE got you feeling self conscious, grappling with your idea(s) about what expression should look like? Begin with a limb. And follow that limb, fight that limb, consider the relationship of that limb […]
We Must Feel
Nick Konow When practicing a skill, hunt for the feeling. A stretch is present in all the yielding, pushing, reaching, grasping and pulling that we do. We just might not be looking for it. If we search for the stretched tissue, we can get clearer on the contraction we are producing […]
The Whole Love (On Communities)
Nick Konow If you think you know what I am writing about or who I am writing about, you don’t. If you think my conceit is to make clearer my message or to convince in any way, it’s not. I’m just digging through the dirt, man…. I don’t believe in community. I don’t believe […]
This Also May Be God
Nick Konow This also may be god. Why Fitness is basic and physical attributes are shiny, empty, ribbons. I don’t believe in the value of attaining the Attributes of strength, power, conditioning and mobility. (in and of themselves.) It’s akin to chasing the attitude of happiness, asserting our willpower over […]
Keep Doing Things
Nick Konow K E E P D O I N G T H I N G S. // Do them past boredom. Far past it. Do them while being hung up on what they really mean to you, and even more so when struggling with what YOU really mean to IT. Do them as […]
Movement Confidence
Nick Konow S E L F G U I D E D E X P E R I M E N T A T I O N. // A Curiosity of Spirit, an Openness to a process, a willingness to give over to it and the audacity to also question it. The primary […]
Constraints
Nick Konow On a Tuesday evening this past winter, I danced to maybe 10 songs in a bar, in the middle of a modest crowd, in a rather shit part of downtown Los Angeles. Context is everything. The context in this instance, is that the behavior of me choosing to partake in anything that might […]
