The rotating seasons bring predictable change-notably, the winter months contain less sunlight and warmth and in some people this causes annual mood shifts that are now known as seasonal affective Disorder, or SAD. According to the Mayo Clinic, the symptoms of SAD usually begin in the fall and persist throughout winter, and include moodiness, depression and lack of energy.
As ITERATION/AGAIN is held in the summer or spring I have been trying to incorperate the contrast of the winter passing and the joy in the light and warmth begining again, encouraging people to step outside, stretch their feet and go on an outing with friend or family or a solo exercise.
