Day 100

10/6/2013

I am so excited that I made it to Day 100.  I feel that I am in a place of transition in my improvisational work.  The first 100 days were about discovering my voice and movement language. Often, the act of improvisation was the act of letting go of learned movement habits, classroom gestures and phrases, and finding my own flow.  Now I am ready to identify my habits and patterns and am interested in expanding my consciousness in movement choices.  It is very difficult to process everything that is happening in the body as it is happening, and I am working towards making choices faster.   There is a solo score that Leslie Scates taught me called the "perfect solo."  After 45 seconds of improvisation flow, a viewer shares three patterns that appeared in the movement.  We did this exercise in class last week, and the fabulous Michele Kitchen very accurately pointed out that I love to use repetition.  Today, my goal was to simply not use repetition.  It was real hard.

    Purpose

    This is a blog of processes. Through the sharing of media and writing I am following my impulses, teasing out and unpacking, translating, solidifying, and making concrete my investigations into something that can be shared.
