This process prepares you for contact improvisation as you begin to stop relying on your brain and start using instincts, and letting impulse control your movements, not your brain. You spontaneously devise interesting and unique ways to move about the space, these can be used as material in physical theatre performances. It allows you to explore your body and find interesting and bizarre points to move from, as I started to move from my shoulder blades, which left me slightly confused in the beginning but this then led to me finding a new way to move.
I enjoyed it because your become immersed within your own bubble of consciousness and start to focus purely on movement, making the exercise almost therapeutic. Its a good warm up and makes your body naturally fluid and soft.
