Tension and Release
n. the bodied phenomena of anticipation and follow-through.
Tension and release is a supporting concept to Anacrusis–Crusis–Metacrusis and the Golden Gesture. Analog motion requires a shift of weight. This action is full of potential energy (tension) converting into kinetic energy (release) and back again. To the living sentient being, “stillness” (which is never truly still) mounts as potential energy (tension) and eventually requires a motion, kinetic energy (release). These cycles of stillness/ motion, potential/kinetic, heavy/light all follow the Golden Gesture. One cannot control every moment of the day, eventually you have to let go. Living is defined by constant, overlapping cycles of tension and release.
