What I did today: Week 5

In this session we had to do the same Peggy Hackney warm up, however, we had to do it at a different level (i.e. lying down). It felt very strange having done this warm up standing up for five weeks to go to lying down. Although, once you committ to it, the movements seem more easier and when we were lying on the floor.

From the task in my previous entry, we had to write our initial thoughts to the place we spent time at (for me it was starbucks). Some of the words I wrote down in the lesson were; "Relaxation" "Earthy" "Temptation". We then had to embody this emotional response individually and began to create different movements accordingly. I find individual movements quite tricky, as you only have your ideas and input to work with. To me, movement is much more effective as a collective as the different ideas and intrepretations makes for a much more effective and interesting piece. As the lessons progress and develop I feel so does my own theories and thoughts on movement, when are group of people are all moving communicating some thematic ideas, it is extremely powerful.
