What I did today? Week 8

Note: I was again not partipating in this workshop, I was only observing. Due to injury.

In this lesson we watched everyones performance, and then gave them feedback, then watched it again when they had taken on board some of our comments. There was one group in particular whose work stood out to me. This group was made up of 3 people, all from different types of movement backgroud, so they all brought something unique and different into the piece. The all seemed to work separately yet as a group at spesfic points when contact was made. When the contact was made, it was extremely interesting to watch them react to this accordingly, as with this type of improvisation, reacting to others and the atmosphere is a key skill that is needed for a successful piece.

It was interesting to witness everybody's performances and which ones worked with some sound, and which ones were more effective in silence. One group had sound which kept changing tempo, this gave their piece more depth as they could either go along with the tempo change and speed up or slow down according or juxtapose the music on perpose to create tension between the movement and the accompaning music.
