Phrase work for technique class :)



This phrase was fresh in my memory from learning it in the morning. This is a video of me just working through it, working out the flow of movements

Movement Study Task 1, 2 and 3

Image
Task 1: Learning about the Arthrometric model was interesting for me, I tended to notice what movement was coming from my hips and shoulders in the central zone. When running around the room, I was practising articulating my feet (using my metatarsals, hinge joint) and the gliding joints in my feet. I find that knowing the terminology for different parts of your body helps to image them when moving. I didn't fully know what to notice or understand the purpose. Learning about the radial symmetry was informative, ie; elbows and knees are biaxial, cannot alter direction but can offer full range in movement, and the joints from the knees to the ankles are triaxial, as are joints from elbow to hand. It's quite complicated and would take a few physical exercises of exploration, to fully grasp .

IPP1 'Transformation' work in progress...

Image
Following a while back with my stimulus I had for that 'transformation' tree I liked so much in a performance I saw, I've decided to use it as the theme for my piece, the theme of 'transformation', that's what I've named it. I've also used it to have as scenery. I originally thought I want my piece to be site specific in a woodland area surrounded by trees and leaves on the floor, but then I thought how interesting it would be to bring that to the stage, and make it so it's deliberately fake with cut out shaped trees and leaves on the ground, quite an abstract effect. In the studio today I worked on a sequence of moves I could potentially put in for my project. It's the technique that Glenn showed us in one IPP1 class. To think of some adjectives and make it into one continuing static phrase. I want to put some of these moves of these vids to my dance piece of 'Transformation' somewhere. I'm also debating whether to say the words ...

Five years on...

5 years later and...I am back! What have I been up to since Uni? Well.. I graduated with a 2:1, gained a Communications Internship at DanceXchange, which developed my interest in Arts Marketing. I moved to Leamington Spa for love, took a few detours of working in retail and progressed to Temporary Store Manager level, however, knowing it is not what I wanted to do with my life, reverted back to Marketing where I worked for an emerging self driving car company. This then allowed me enough experience to gain a position in Digital Communications at The Royal Academy of Dance. Alex and I bought our first home so all in all, not a bad 5 years, albeit it has not been easy!  Why have I decided to return? So the past 3 years in the UK has been such a turbulent time with the UK voting to leave the European Union, and the stress that we, as a country, have all had to endure watching that process and to witness the decisions that were made that would ultimately affect ours and our ch...
