So this clip was just supposed to get me moving to the music before putting together ideas more formally. But then disaster struck, okay maybe not disaster, but for my knee it wasn't great. Resting up now but hoping to be back on my feet soon.
So day three of this mini project is another improvisation. However as I did this after Ballet class yesterday it has a different style; both due to the style of movement I had being doing for the previous 90 minutes and the fact that I could travel more in the studio.
I have another two days this week where I have access to a dance studio so I think there will be a lot of traveling in this piece buy the end of the week.
I'm not sure of which direction the style of the piece will go though but I'd like to incorporate movement material from all three improvisations done so far; I'll probably be watching them quite a few times over the next couple of days.
Another weekly project started today in the hope that it will kick start me getting back on track with the 365. Here is an improvisation to show the start of the process. Very rough around the edges but with some ideas to work on over the coming week.
Having trained in the Cecchetti style from a young age these eight positions are old friends. This is just a little play with the relationships between them.
I've been I'll again! A bug going round both home and work completely knocked me off my feet for two days and I'm still feeling weak. Thank you to the friends who have wished me well and to the mysterious deliverer of chocolate. All have helped in my recovery.
So even though I am feeling drained and probably dehydrated I have been able to do a little sedentary dance today. I think the frustration of being bed ridden for most of the past 50 hours can be seen in this little snippet. Back to it tomorrow to tech a friends show in Bath armed with lots of vitamin C, water and a good nights sleep, hopefully.
