In the viewpoints training, the "haiku" consists of three sequential actions which explore and help to differentiate the materials of the SixViewpoints: Space, Shape, Time, Emotion/Presence, Story/Logic. This video is an exploration where Mary Overlie and Anna Newbury have strung together, like beads on a necklace, a series of haikus exploring the material of Presence. The haiku is a physical form or container, I believe that was conceptualized by Wendell Beavers.
"You have the privilege to be a material. And then all the other materials have to be equally played with, instead of being intimidated by them." -Mary Overlie
"I feel equal to the materials for the first time in a very long time." -Mary Overlie
"It effects me very very deeply to see this work, so its really a gift." - Mary Overlie
