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 .

Voicework with Sonia

The second session: In Voice, we were practising the art of carefully pronouncing vowels and consonants. For example, my warm up exercises were: Maa -Faa -So - La - Ti - Wa Bee - Bi - Bick - Boh Shcrap - Mi - To - Da - La We had to say these to the group and recite them over and over. She would individually give us feedback on how we would say certain sounds, which I thought was really good as its almost 1 to 1 feedback. We then had to say a piece of text and she would individually go around the group and listen. Again, we'd recite them; my feedback was to play with tone, but she didn't have alot to say. I think I have quite a neutral voice but I do have a slight birmingham accent, which isn't too big of a problem.

Practical Tasks - flocking/falling as a group

Falling as a group We were given tasks, in preparation to perform, to move together. In doing these tasks, I noticed alot of things about my moving. I found it easy to act on judgement of falling when everyone else falls. I notice I like to be the follower, not the initiator of movement. I do get the 'desire' to initiate but don't quite follow through.  Flocking Same with flocking I notice that the decision to lead in a group in a certain direction becomes easy after more and more practice. I'm better at following but when pushed or given the opportunity I will lead.  I think overall this suggests I'm a natural team player, in between of leading and following, rather than all leading or all following.  Standing with purpose This exercise we all had to stand and be 'present' while we had an audience sit and watch us. But we weren't moving or doing anything. I noticed with a lot of people that they did look awkward, giggles would happen, or m...
