Choreography 365: Day 30 - Spinning

 I just felt like spinning today!

I'm off round to see Luna and Taz tomorrow for a dance around Greenbank Graveyard and to prepare for our radio appearance on Thursday.

We will be talking to Ujima Radio  between 12:45 and 1:15 about our 365 projects :)

(Do not adjust your set, there is no sound today)

Choreography 365: Day 29 - Midsomer Norton pt 3

My video is a bit different today.  I went back to find the stump I had play on the other day.

The first part is made up of some excerpts from the ISTD Intermediate Ballet Syllabus barre work.

I thought this would be a good balance exercise in preparation for my exam in a few weeks time.

The second part is a few bits of improvisation, playing with the difference in balance and height.

Choreography 365: Day 28 - Midsomer Norton pt 2

 As planned we went for a wander to the Old Mill Batch in Midsomer Norton.

I was a little skeptical about doing the material on the rocks that make up the 'vulcano', but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

Choreography 365: Day 27 - Midsomer Norton pt 1

As mentioned yesterday I am visiting friends this weekend in Midsomer Norton. 

We went on a little exhibition today in search of a good place to film but apart from balancing on a tree stump for a bit nothing really caught my eye.  

(I my go find that stump again at some point)

 So in preparation for our wander to The Batch tomorrow I have started a little sequence that I hope to expand upon.

Filmed in my hosts back garden which provided most of our lunch today :)

Choreography 365: Day 26 - Stairs

 After revisiting an idea that started at Dartington yesterday; I decided I'd have a go at doing another one.

During our 'Site Specific' module in our first year myself, Sarah Farrow and Kirsty Ghent worked for a while on a staircase.  We had always meant to revisit this so I thought I'd start.

I am hoping that Kirsty and Sarah will be up for continuing this idea online!

FYI these are not my stairs.  I am visiting friends in Midsomer Norton this weekend so I'll hopefully find some great locations :)

 

Choreography 365: Day 25 - Sock Dance

 The other day the lovely Hannah Hawkey reminded me of an idea we had back at Dartington, along with Sarah Farrow; 

A Sock Dance.

We discussed various ideas but unfortunately didn't get round to it; all that uni work!

Well I've started.  

I'm hoping that this can still be a collaboration even if we are miles apart.  So dig out those stripy socks ladies and send me some footage and feedback :)

Music is Avratz by Infected Mushroom (for this one anyway).

Thank you Genie for the use of your socks.

Choreography 365: Day 24 - In the Tunnel

 So, as promised, I went down to the tunnel today.

I had more plans to play with the footage this evening but time is of the essence and I have college tomorrow :)

I'd like to get back down there another day in the future and give myself more time to edit, so watch this space.
