Firstly in my own practice I have recently found correlation between Ralston’s Body Being principles (echoed also in Paxton’s work but without Ralston’s inquiries into intrinsic strength or effortless power) and Stanislavski’s ideas about the neutral body.
So emphasis is placed on relaxation, centredness (of the standing body esp) etc. There is also a deliberate letting go of the kind of desires that can interrupt the flow of ideas and movement. Desire is one thing, clinging to outcome however is ineffective. I like your use of the word ‘ambitions’ here . Anyway this involves a deeper and more attentive state of listening than ever before. Not just of internal impulses, but the actual space I am moving in, the immediacy of people outside the space etc.

Secondly I have deliberately underscored pleasure in my practice as I seem to have simply forgotten about it! The intention of taking pleasure in moving has also manifested in dancing to music (interpretively), and consequently invoking old aesthetics as well as drawing on current practices. I end up dancing!

However the listening provides the discipline to the pleasure, there’s still and essential ‘accuracy’ I am looking to hit in all of what I do. Its just more fun. But if I tried doing the splits my career would be over.
