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

Review of Influx Dance Company 'Walking Through Space'

Watching Influx Dance Company countless times was an interesting experience for me. In ways, the performance struck me more as art rather than a dance piece, which shows how inter-linked art is to dance, a cross art form. The artistic elements were: the repetitive and different pitched sounds as they were travelling around the room. There was alot of multi tasking involved where they had a sequence of interlinking actions, repetition and sequences with the stamping of feet. They even used dance in a way of showing teamwork for example, when helping each other to slide under the shelf in the art gallery. This reminded me of a movement you would see when army men help each other to protect each other from bombs and to travel in secret or confined spaces. There were a few mysterious elements which left me thinking: 'Why did they do that?', for example the jumping onto the gym mat in no particular way, what was the reason for it? I think it's good when a piece can leave you...

A starting point for my solo...

Stimulus or Object? For my IPP1 project, I have to create a dance theatre solo based on my personal experiences, feelings, objects that interest me or whatever i want to develop it to be. An object or stimulus for movement,(I'm not quite sure of what its uses will be at the moment) I've been thinking of is a really nice setting that i saw for when i went to see Spring Awakening at the Belgrade Theatre. The main setting were some cut out trees that would show a projected image when each scene went on, for example, for a library scene there would be an image of bookshelves to blend in and at the house a kitchen would show on these trees. A great lighting trick, so clever and abstract. Yesterday when i went shopping, i went into Topshop and found a very similar version of the trees that would show what I'm trying to explain. As I was thinking into this concept, I thought i could use the idea of transformation and explore that somehow, or i could ev...

Contact with hands and feet

In experiental anatomy, we focused on moving through the floor through the hands and feet. We had a score of just moving across the floor in one direction, starting to move standing and gradually working your way to the floor and with this, I decided as a personal goal to focus on keeping my feet and my hands particularly grounded. It is an awful habit of mine to overbend on the pads of my hands and cause unnecessary tension in my wrists, which always leaves my wrists aching afterwards. http://www.footelastic.com/index.php?p=1_13_Your-Feet-Are-Miracle-Of-Nature I found that I like to move rapidly across the floor but actually, whilst slowing down I got all the benefit out of it, as the slower I went on my own, the more fluid and diverse my movements were across the floor. We then carried this score out in partners and, again, this made all the difference in the fact that the self consciousness of what I was doing went completely out of my head and i...
