Week 2

This was my first week of improvisation, I went in with no expectation’s and I honestly thought we would be left to creative task and dancing around the space a lot more but in this case it wasn’t that, although I couldn’t dance due to injury the lesson was still pleasant. There was many individual exercises and then also group work as well, nothing was set we was to improvise movement wise but the task weren’t very dance based.

-Awareness of the body with out being sight specific(eyes closed) using sound and feeling to help generate sound by yourself and one another. (creating boundaries)

-Improv of different body parts i.e. (feet going up head going down, arms like icicles and legs like spaghetti ) Exploring different levels, different ways of doing movement on different levels speed. Exploring movement when the body becomes restricted. Exploring the out of the ordinary and falling away from your own habits.

Bending vs standing-

Awareness of others, audiences prospective how I could see there intentions by looking at them, how you could see on their faces what they were going to do and there hesitant, some of the dancers said they took orders in a way from audience members faces as they could tell there wasn’t three forward and two backwards,

The main reading was focused on Debroah hay which was focused on intention, attention and awareness. (What your intention is, but your attention is somewhere else but your aware of this).
