Dear Dancers!
Hope you had a good break and that the work we did had a chance to marinate and grow inside of you.
I want to wish you all a wonderful performance tomorrow, I really wish I could be there but am looking forward to see it on video instead.
For the warm up – please take about 20-30 minutes individually to physically go through and remember any of the exercises we did – you don't have to do them all 3, just choose one that you feel will help you the most to get into your physicality.
I will list them here for you:
– Pushing, Pulling, reaching, / Falling (letting go), doing each separately, then doing them all together
– lying down rocking from the heels and transferring this sensation to all body parts connected to the floor
– lying down moving the spine with your extremities (arms&legs) / moving your extremities with your spine / doing both
Then:
as a group before performing (before audience comes in) just do a short sequence like we did before the run: (this just takes no more than 5 minutes)
1. stomping & shaking the floor with you feet ( noticing how your movement shakes the floor and vibrates the room)
2. shaking your own body
(repeating these two things alternating between them 3 or 4 times)
then
3. doing both at the same time and stopping as a group.
I hope this helps you to warm up and get into the mindset for the work:
Things to remember:
– Try not to repeat the run that you did with me at the school OR the run that you did today. The piece is bit different every night , as we are also a bit different every night. Try to work with those subtleties and not repeat last nights tricks.
– remembering to find the balance between solo and group not letting either dissappear
– enjoy the space and your bodies that you have : we enjoy to watch you also!
Thank you for your work and I wish you all the best!
TOI TOI TOI!
