Thoughts from the exploration.

I think you can create a duet with objects but it must be the main theme throughout. Taking the object and placing it in different spaces causes a shift in how daring you can beat and it also changes the object itself. I think I preferred the duet exploration with the chair more than the body part improvisation, because there was more possibilities of movement and I never ran out of ideas. But I don't know whether the chair duet ended up being movement decoration around the chair?
