Between March and June of 2020, in the first round of COVID-19 lockdowns, I made Six Positions on Uncertainty, a six-channel movement video from scores that grew out of my wrestling with the fear, confusion and isolation that lockdown brought, while also thinking through the myriad of influences in my movement training history. With the world at a precipice, I asked, how do I want to move now? Not how have I been trained to move or approach moving, but what aspects of those trainings do I still want to embrace, and which would I like to jettison? In this article I discuss how I built the structure and material for the piece, paying particular attention to the many sources that informed its development, moving out of universalist 'theories of' or 'proposals of' a body and into the individual 'practice' put forward by my complicated and multifaceted history.
