CoNCrEte 02 aaron sadness

This is a continuation and part of my research conducted for my Masters of Science - Media Arts and Imaging Screendance degree at Dundee University 2008/9, Dundee, Scotland.

The performer, Aaron Jeffrey uses the Emotional Body Work pattern of sadness, based on Alba Emoting, a somatic technique that triggers the performer to elicit powerful and authentic emotions. Here Aaron performs and displays his sadness. This is a genuine display of sadness using only breath, tension and facial patterns to elicit the emotion. There is no psychological recall. The only recall is emotional body memory. This body memory is triggered by the breathing/tension/facial patterns that tap into the stored body memory and encourage a full bloated geniune emotional display.
