Choreography 365: Day 97 - Big Project Announcement

So here we go, if I make it public it's official.  I don't really know why I've been putting this off, possibly because I'm not completely sure I can do the vision in my head justice.

The idea is to take PV Nova's Evolution remix of Daft Punks Get Lucky and dance and dress in a style influenced by the decade in question. (See video below if this doesn't make sense).

So today I have listened to the track quite a few times and marked out the duration of each section together with possible dance style for each decade.

Now I have to teach myself any styles I'm not familiar with and brush up of those I haven't done for a while.  And then choreograph each section to run smoothly into the next.

I plan to take each section separately, work on that decade and then put them altogether, so I am hoping it will take about a month working on it every few days.

This is going to be a challenge but I'm up for it. :)

Choreography 365: Day 96 - Feet in the Fire

Inspired by the trepidation of walking on hot coals. A little metaphor for the way I'm feeling.

This is mainly due to the decision to start working on that big project.  Excited but cautious. More to be revealed tomorrow :)

Music = Dark Smoke Prayer by Carolyn Hillyer.

Choreography 365: Day 94 - Response to Fan Art



I spent another day helping out at The House of Moon today but we did find time to escape the house.


This is a response to some fan art by Luna which she drew for me and my fellow 365'ers Taz and Nat.


You may recall that I did one a few weeks ago (Day 75) but I really wanted to do something in a better location.


Music = Brandenburg by Beirut

Choreography 365: Day 93 - Intro to Home is where the Chaos is




Today I take you on a mini tour of 'The House of Moon' post epic move round.


The potential of the living area has been maximized and simplified prior to Luna beginning her second 365 project: 'Home is where the Chaos is'.


This will start towards the end of this month, but you can see her first one, A Boat a Day, here.





Music = Junktion by Beats Antique.

Also check out our fellow 365'er Nat creating 'a door a day'.

Choreography 365: Day 92 - Reverse Groundation


During my first day at my new job today I remembered that I was going to see how yesterdays video looked in reverse.

SO here it is, works quite well I think.  :)

A really like this play with leg development and retraction

And it's always nice to listen and dance to some new music
