We don’t talk about vision the way we talk about proprioception, as something you only notice once it fails. This post imagines a world where people never needed to look, and asks what that says about how we talk about the body.
An essay tracing one shift through cycling, skateboarding, music, and Baseworks practice: when effort or constraint quiets the obvious, finer perception comes out.
When I searched for positive first-person accounts of sensorimotor experience, AI did better than the humans. That is the triple irony — and it says something uncomfortable about what happens when perceptual capacity becomes tribal identity.
Most physical practice is oriented outward — what the practice looks like, what it accomplishes. The internal experience of doing the movement is rarely on the curriculum. This article describes the skill of attending inward, beginning with muscular sensation at rest, and how that sensitivity carries into every domain that depends on noticing what isn’t asking to be noticed.
Your capacity to act is bounded by your capacity to perceive. This article explores the perception gap in body awareness: why understanding a movement instruction is not the same as being able to act on it, and how sensory resolution develops through structured practice.
Twenty-one people. Seven sessions at Circuit Est Centre Chorégraphique in Montreal. The Winter 2026 Study Group paired weekly in-person sessions with the Baseworks Primer online course. This article documents what that cohort looked like, what we observed, and what participants reported.
After analyzing thousands of movement instruction sessions with millisecond resolution, we discovered something surprising: most practices dedicate 97-99% of their instruction to visible movements, while the invisible layer—what we call micro-movements—gets almost no attention.
Exploring movement learning through AI revealed something unexpected: the parallels run both ways, illuminating how embodied intelligence and machine learning emerge from the same patterns
Though dance is supposed to grow “embodiment,” can it lead to disembodied perceptual experience? Catherine Gaudet’s “Les jolies choses” held my attention so completely that my body awareness dropped away for an hour.
What do people actually report after practicing Baseworks? I went back through 39 long-form practitioner accounts systematically. The effects fall along a spectrum — from strength, flexibility, and pain relief to changes in how people read and regulate their own states.
