Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

For bodyminds marked by states of strain, imbalance, and tension, (re)aligning is attunement, opening oneself up to the frequencies of the world, opening ourselves up to each other.

Handwritten text on a watercolor background. The text reads: “align the body to noise / You encounter a grating sound over which you have no control: a leaf-blower, construction, baby crying next door. / Turn off any additional sounds (podcast, music). Let the sound enter your body. Breathe deeply and steadily as you dance to the sound, exploring its texture, rhythm and timbre. / When silence arrives, relish it.”]media/Copy of Cynthia_Align_align the body to noise.jpgplain2024-01-10T14:03:59-08:00
