Words you won’t hear
tactics, objectives, backstory, actions, beats, winning, script analysis, repetition, right/wrong, good/bad, better than/worse than, etc.
These words aren’t bad - they’re just not for everyone.
Words you will hear
practice, integration, inclusion, presence, “is-ness”, “why-lessness”, creative analysis, “web work”, image, sensation, belief, embodiment, “sounding the body”, recalls, stability, play, etc.
These words aren’t better than the others - we just believe everything you need you already have.
