Choreography 365: Day 59 - Shadows

I have found myself in an interesting position; I am a day ahead of myself.  

This is a good thing though as in two days time we will be flying home from Germany so it may get a bit tricky to film.

Today's video was filmed yesterday in the park in Dresden.  Daisy and I did some of the moves we did in the garden the other day but played with the shadows in the sun.  

We have also done some more shadows work today at an art exhibition but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see it!  See you then :)


Music = Sunny Side of the Street by Louis Armstrong.

Choreography 365: Day 58 - Daisy and Me

After finally getting Skype to work I spoke to Daisy's mum who was happy for the video to be used; so here it is.  I have been having a great time in Dresden with my family doing tourist things and playing with my cousin Daisy.






Today we painted some stones that she had picked as place markers for our dinner table, made friendship bracelets, created two fan boats for Luna's boat a day project (which was finished today) and went shopping in the new town.

Choreography 365: Day 57 - Suspended Arms

After receiving a lovely comment from my fellow 365er Luna yesterday, about how some of the movements from yesterdays video looked like I was a puppet, I decided to play with this idea further.




I was hoping to do a little dance on a boat today as a tribute to the fact that Luna is about to finish her 365 project but this was not possible; so I ended up dancing in the bathroom.

Choreography 365: Day 56 - Natural Framings

I spent a lot of my day today swimming, playing, paddling a swan pedalo with my 7 year old cousin Daisy; so naturally we ended up putting a little piece of dancing together.

 
I am waiting on permission from Daisy's parents (who aren't on holiday with us) to allow it to be posted online but in the meantime here is a short piece inspired by the skipping and jumping we were doing, but also using more natural frames.


Hopefully you will see Daisy and I messing around tomorrow :)

Choreography 365: Day 55 - Optical Opera

 

I felt like a proper tourist today as we wandered along the Elbe and into the Altstadt (Old Town) in the scorching 40 degrees!  

 

There were some local opera singers performing nearby which provided a nice soundtrack and my lovely mummy filmed me in front of one of the walls of the Residenz Palast.  

 

The geometrically painted wall together with my stripy dress and the interesting filming create a strange optical effect.  Hoping to work more on this in the future.

Choreography 365: day 54 - Wings

After two flights and a swim in an old quarry where we were joined by a couple of swans; today's choreography is inspired by their common theme: Wings.  Just about to sit down to a lovely home cooked meal and then bed before another day full of holiday adventure fun tomorrow :)

Choreography 365: Day 53 - Poi

I spent yesterday traveling from Bristol to my Nan's in Harlow so no access to internet.

I am currently sitting in Koln/Bonn airport in Germany waiting for our connecting flight to Dresden.

This is a video I put together yesterday of a play with my poi in the park on Sunday.

I thought it would be interesting to reverse the footage to see if my forward and reverse weave are different.  Can you tell?
