Day 236 - 2 for 1

Here are two excerpts from today.  A bit of phrase development and an improv.

Music = Crimes by A Perfect Circle and Ego Brain by System of a Down.

Choreography 365: Day 78 - Escape to the Park

As promised I escaped the house today.

It's been a lovely few days (sorry week) of extended birthday celebrations and seeing lots of friends; now back to normality.

Mind you, saying that, I've got a week til I start my new job and go back to college.



I'm sure I'll find some interesting things to get up to in the mean time.

I should definitely start that big project this week :)

Music = Gravity by A Perfect Circle.

Choreography 365: Day 42 - PLU 7

I think this will be the final installment of my dance to Peace, Love and Understanding by A Perfect Circle, for now anyway.  

It was quite dark tonight by the time I got round to filming so I had to play with the exposure settings so that the dance was actually visible, that and a little purple tint.

Choreography 365: Day 41 - PLU 6

Just added a little extra to my weekly project today.  

Back in Midsomer Norton this weekend so hopefully find another beautiful place to dance in tomorrow.  

See you then :)

Choreography 365: Day 39 - Peace, Love and Understanding 5

Another very long day today including a ballet class so was able to film in the studio.

Unfortunately a lot of the movement travels quite a bit so I had to film some bits separately.

Now off for some much needed sleep.

See you tomorrow :)

Choreography 365: Day 38 - Peace, Love and Understanding 4

Definitely just a 'mark' today after working a 13 hour shift and the directions need work, but that's a job for tomorrow.  But I did manage to change the bits I wasn't happy with yesterday and add on most of the additional stuff originally from day 28.

I have a shorter day at work tomorrow and then ballet in the evening so hopefully I will be able to find a studio to do the whole dance so far in and add more!

Choreography 365: Day 37 - Peace, Love and Understanding 3

Another very hot day on site today so I'm not 100% happy with the new work on this as it was hard going to think, but I will revisit it tomorrow.  I also worked on putting the material from Day 28 to the instrumental section; which I started dancing at the end of the video.  I really was too hot to do any more dancing today even in the dappled sunlight but it will be added on tomorrow.  See you then :)

Choreography 365: Day 35 & 36 - Peace, Love and Understanding 1 & 2

OK so my first fail day yesterday due to heat and distraction, but I made up for it with two today!

I have decided to embark on a mini week-long project to Peace, Love and Understanding by A Perfect Circle.  I am working six days this week but will have time during the day on site to choreograph.  I am hoping that the piece will progress and develop in both quantity and quality, as you would from spending a week on the same thing!  Also I may give myself a 'day-off' as it were and do something completely different in the middle of the week to change up the way I work, but we'll see.

 

Day '35' was filmed earlier today on site after choreographing both in my head and getting up by the desk and trying things out.  

Day 36 was filmed after a 2 hour ballet class so I am a little red and tired in this one.  I put together the additional movement material in this one both on the bus to class and shortly before filming.  

I'll have another look at it again tomorrow and see where I go from there :)
