Rehearsal 1 - Improvisation 2

(Project 3)

Improvisation 2


        "I suggest it would be an interesting exercise to have successive dancers work in "opposition" to one
        another..not simply following the developing form but continuously correcting the overall form by
        successively "redirecting" the input. I am working with such a notion which often results in an overall
        "spiral"..... Worth a try?"

We tried this idea, and we added our own variations.  Elizabeth gave an initial theme, and each dancer had to incorporate something of the initial theme, something from the person who moved directly before them, and something of their own.  We found that there was a natural link developing between each dancer's movement in this improvisation. 

Some of this movement might be selected to be used for the piece.  If you like some of the movement and think it might be developed for the dance, please email me and describe the movement, or say at what point it occurs.  Even a vague description together with the colours that the dancer is wearing will enable me to pick it out from the movie.
