Yo yo yo!
We had an AWESOME rehearsal last night! Everyone was absolutely bubbling with energy... I had a mocha frappuccino to switch my brain on before the session, but it seemed to rub off on everyone as we powered through a lot last night.
So... I have a confession to make. I lied in my last post. I claimed that I'm choreographing one of the YAF groups for UDF, but that isn't technically correct. I like to think of it more as inspiring one of the YAF groups to choreograph their dance. So basically I provide some stimulus and then they create... In my opinion, it creates a more interesting piece as instead of having one person's perspective on something, we have a multitude of interpretations. It also creates a fusion of dance forms which results in a really dynamic performance.
Last night, we created some travelling sequences inspired by abstract shapes that the dancers had drawn when we did our site visit. Here are four we've been using so far:
Here's a little video, just to give you a little taste of something we came up with:
Am thinking the mocha frappuccino might have to become a habit if it makes for such an energised rehearsal!!!
till next time... Ciao!
