+
+today we had our fourth and last (for the moment) miniworkshop! there were four of us, and the workshop happened in english.
+
+we repeated the use of the "slides" from the previous session, but now we made sure we actually went and performed all the movements and sequences that are shown in there. 
+
+a crucial question came up: why do operations and movements have the same name? it was interesting to discuss this before actually doing the "guide and tape" activity: this allows the operations to be danced using the same materials! (and it also allows any sequence to be read as potential set of instructions!)
+
+it was noted how it was challenging to not follow the verbal instructions as the sequence of movements to perform, but instead as a set of operations to apply to the sequence before performing it. 
+
+in the previous workshop i realized that hurdle existed when doing the first activity of tape and guide but with voice, and today i tried to pre-emptively warn about it. however, i feel-think it's important for that "mistake" to happen, because it reveals an important aspect of the technique: part of the fun comes from having to do these translations with the materials.
+
+again the DEH operation was the most difficult to get; it's interesting how we are used to working with movement in a way that makes it challenging to "remove the first element from the sequence".
+
+we got to talk about how this system contrasts with conventional ways of approaching choreography, and how difficult it might be to unlearn those ways in order to learn and practice this technique. this applies in many fronts: the aspect of having several, relatively distinct movements (from a more movement-analysis perspective) encoded as "one" discrete movement; working with sequences as collections of these discrete elements; manipulating the sequences based on specific rules and not based on flow, poetics, phrasing, etc; and so on :)
+
+it was super fun and insightful!
+
+now we get a week to prepare our talk to conclude the microresidency! (see {talks and workshops})
