Energy
Thursday November 2nd, 2017
Today we began discussing energy and its three subcategories. Energy has three intertwined subcategories, each of which uses the other. You can see my complete notes below.
With the rest of our class time our professor allowed us to work on revising our last study. Our studies were not bad. In fact, as I watched I realized how far each of my peers choreography has come just since the beginning of the semester. However, my professor wishes us to use the tools she has given us to a more extreme level. Specifically, we are to focus on moving into the extremes of timing more. By playing with moving extremely fast or slow we can see how it will emphasize different movement and change the meaning of our movement. This also pushes us further out of our comfort zones as I mentioned in my previous post.
I was very grateful for the time to work on my choreography, unfortunately I was not very productive. My mind is consumed with all the homework I have, Fall Into Dance, and the injury that I am trying to comeback from. This does not bode well for concentrated creativity. This also means that I sat on the floor staring at the wall a lot trying to come up with something and having nothing, but a blank mind. Hopefully, tech week and the excitement of having a performance inspires me in the next couple days to choreograph.
