Choreography 365: Day 132 - Time for a Change

So I've managed to get myself in a bit of a routine with this project and need to move out of my comfort zone.  Time to create some ideas rather than produce something 'finished' everyday.

Today Luna and I played with our shadows in the sunlight coming through the window; yes I said sunlight :)

We worked with a few different ideas, some with potential and some which just made us laugh; and here is the one I wanted to share with you, after a bit of editing.

For me it's either a dark hooded figure standing over the viewer or the ashy imprint of someone trapped in a nuclear reactor that's just gone critical depending on how you look at it.  Two distinct images which conjure up different movement ideas in my body and mind. 

Choreography 365: Day 131 - Back to Ballet

Just a little improvisation today after ballet class, inspired by the advanced 1 dance, but in my own style.  Originally danced in silence and then put to the instrumental section of the track, thanks to Luna for the suggestion.

Music = She Left Home by Djamel Benyelles

Choreography 365: Day 130 - Testing the Elastic

Today I finally put new elastic on my pointe shoes to stop them falling off at the heel; so here is a little test of its effectiveness.

Music = Dietro Casa by Ludovico Einaudi

Choreography 365:Day 129 - Cecchetti's Eight

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.

Music = Rainbow by Oh Land

Choreography 365: Day 128 - Free Rotation

It's been a bit of a whirlwind few days with celebrating the engagement of a fellow 365er, lots of cycling and endless games of Settlers of Catan, so here's a little whirlwind of my own.

Music = Turn out the Sound by Daft Punk

Choreography 365: Day 127 - The Cloak

The temperature has certainly dropped over the last couple of days so I have been wandering round the house in my lovely cloak, so of course I had to dance in it!

Music = Disintegration by Jimmy Eat World

Choreography 365: Day 126 - Battle 34 Beat 3 C

 I have been meaning to do something to some more of a friends music for a while and finally plucked up the courage.

I have mentioned before that this street/hip hop style of dance is not my strong suit but practice makes perfect (or slightly less scared in my case).

I promise there will be a change of scenery soon but our spare room seems to be my go to studio at the moment.

The track is Battle 34 Beat 3 C by J Billo and you can check out more of his work here
