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.

Technique - (8/10/13) and (15/10/13)

8/10/13 - Boxstep routine:  Boxstep routine travelling across the floor, with the idea of keeping the knees low and trying not to let that height extend upward, which is what my partner noticed I was doing when split in pairs. I noticed that I would start off low and then gradually, over time, without even realising, I would rise up and up as the routine went on. Tip: Work through the feet - heel to toe - can be flat footed at times.  15/10/13 - The lesson this week felt like a transformation for me. The release exercise of touching the clavicle and finding the shoulder bone, to find the spaces inbetween the joint has really highlighted how much tension are in my arms, really opened up my moving when released. This session I feel has really made a massive impact on how my body will perform in future, as I felt so much more fluidity when moving, my moving was soft and loose. Tip:   Ella's feedback for me was when holding my arms out in second, feel the spaces ...
