While we continue to work on introducing technique in contemporary dance, including:
Floor work (focused on release into the ground/working in relation to gravity)
Centre practice (modern dance techniques with some ballet elements such as plie and tendu)
Swings
Inversion
What a great first exploration of dance elements from choosing your own theme based on your life experiences, to putting together 3 sequences that can be developed further as we have more practice using the dance elements chart. Bravo, dancers! Have courage, be proud, take charge of your own dance sequences. Keep it up!
Dance Elements:
What (body parts)
How (basic efforts by Rudolf Laban)
Dancers, please comment your “create” stimuli, example:
1. Body part: foot; effort: punch
2. Body part: head; effort: float
Remember, we are in a learning journey, and it’s not always comfortable, but let’s enjoy the process together! Thank you for your “effort” today! Well done all of you for creating something today. 👏🏼
