Choreography 365: Day 125 - Feeling Restless


I'm feeling physically and mentally restless today and the insomnia isn't helping. So much for getting an early night and being refreshed for college tomorrow.

Choreography 365: Day 124 - Waltz


I should be meeting up with a friend tomorrow to discuss a possible film collaboration so here is a bit of research for it.  I'm not going to give anymore away about the idea than the waltz, hopefully you will get to see the finished results in the future.

Choreography 365: Day 123 - Today



Here is the little improvisation I did to 'Today' by The Smashing Pumpkins in the lights at the theater the other day. 

Despite my declaration about not using the music for profit or gain You Tube has decided to mute the music so here it is directly.

Choreography 365: Day 122 - At Sunset


I wanted to have another go at using the sideways transitions so I found this nice little area in the sunset and worked with some movements mainly balancing on one leg.

Choreography 365: Day 120 - All Along the Watchtower


After a long and enjoyable day today I can finally sit down and post this video.

Today I've done a 'get in', technical and dress rehearsals, show, post show drinks and an impromptu park party post midnight.  And somewhere in there I found time to do two dances; I couldn't resit dancing under the lights I laboured over!  One of these is here for your viewing pleasure and the other one will be saved for the next time I am incapacitated.




I decided on the 'All Along the Watchtower' piece for today because it fits into my Daft Punk Evolution project and will influence my 1970's section.

Hope you enjoy, thanks to Pat for filming.




If anyone happens to be in Bath, England tomorrow and fancies coming along to the Rondo theater for 8pm start you will be treated to a splendid performance of The Zoo Story by Three Short Planks (£12/£10).

Choreography 365: Day 119 - Sedentary Dance


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.
