This lesson was very physical and took a lot of energy and commitment. We started off in pairs having to copy the energy,tempo and speed of the other person's movement without copying their movement exactly. For this I was working with Scott, who is much more of a dancer than me so my repertoire of movements is much more limited than his so at first I felt a little bit uncomfortable working in this way, however with time i loosened up and really enjoyed this task. We then had to find ways of going against the flow of the other person's movement, I found this easier than trying to copy as me and Scott have very different styles of moving so this task suited us a bit better. Overall this task was very enjoyable and allowed me to express myself without fear of being embarrassed.
The next task was called 'a little bit of me, a little bit of you'. This game involved us doing some movements and then watching someone else do movements and then copying some of the movements to make our 'dance' a little bit of our style and then a little bit of someone else's style. This was extremely tiring and took a lot of physical activity and concentration, but was a really fun task and helped me to become aware of everyone's different styles of moving, and no one style is correct or incorrect.
