John Cage once said…
If you find something boring, keep looking at it, keep looking at it and keep looking at it until you find it interesting.
I refer to this so often in my movement and sound practice. Here is a little audio sketch doing just that – unravelling the beauty in the ordinary.

A spoken word piece by Camilla Maling, March 2014
I recently participated in a professional development Body-Mind Centering retreat with Alice Cummins, its focus – Embryology. This deeply profound, rich and intensive training teased stories from my cells that reached way back. Finding words for our felt experience is a challenge – during this week, they slipped from my pores. I am sharing some of this writing with you.

An extract from… In The Shadow Of The Moon, a documentary film
This astronaut beautifully articulates what is an extraordinary metaphor for living – our very own physiology intimately integrated into our environment. As an Embodiment Inquisitor, I am on a quest for experiences & examples of our interconnectedness, details otherwise missed, patterns hidden beneath the seeming chaos. Certainly these men had an insight unlike any other.

To consider my moving self is a profoundly spiritual endeavour.
I believe our moving self is key to our experience and understanding of our self, our environment and our place it in.
I built this little composition shortly after returning from India, new to Melbourne and newly pregnant with my daughter. I was experiencing movement in all it’s glory.

What better way than to call on a work with a name like Melodic Flesh! I made & performed this work in London back in 2006. It was a solo improvisation in dance and voice to an original sound score. This is a compiled soundbite from the sound score.
We sit, we stand, we walk and what else…?
There are interlacing patterns in every given moment, dive in and capture with all your senses – venture into the music box.
This short score is part of a larger investigation into the relationship between sound and movement. It’s a matter of vibration and conversation – as sound hits you in any given moment you physicalise & reconfigure your experience of sound and self…
The soundscape is constructed of voice & original recordings from our everyday environment.

This is an introduction of what's to come, in HumanHuman - a podcast by The WonderLab Project. It is a series of conversations in the flesh, with people of all ages. Spoken word and original soundscapes compile this opening provocation on being a moving, thinking human.
