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

November and December Entry: a shift in development

I feel my practise has significantly changed, especially in this past month. I feel experiential anatomy has played a huge part in development; as working with surface, alternating perceptions, (seeing out and internal awareness) yielding and yield and push/reach and pull have all been contributing factors. The imagery of the digestive tract has been an interesting source for me to work with. To move with this awareness I feel, even in the moving of the simplest of tasks, has allowed me to see my movement open up and soften, even elongate and be allowed to breathe. The imagery of the mouth has been another interesting one, in terms of I've heard others say they struggle to connect with this stimulus but, in my own moving, I found a way to use it where it was another initiation point for me and I noticed a different quality to my moving, which allowed me to experiment with weight. Weight is one thing this month that I feel I've played with; my one goal has been from the star...

Body Space Image score

Image
This Body, Space, Image score from the book by Miranda Tufnell and Chris Crickmay, was a score we worked with while waiting to work with our choreographers from last year. Compositionally, it allowed us to develop our skills working as a group, with bodies in space moving. This is the score we worked with: Do the same thing - example, one person walking, two people walking. Set up a relaxed activity in harmony with the first - example, run across their path Set up similar rhythmic counterpoint - example, walk, turn Set up a contrasting activity (that makes the first more visible) - example, stand still Help what is going on - example, copy/mirror Obstruct a persons activity with a contrary one - example, make them change action Change the environment within which someone is working - example, turn the light off, stamp Exist in another time or dimension - example, 'slow motion'. Below is our discussion we had and some things I noticed: We then explo...

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 . The Arthrometric Model Source: Andrea Olsen -  Body Stories Task 2: It was interesting to learn about the ribs because I didn't know much about the anatomy of how the rib...
