I have been slacking on studio time lately. I got to rehearsal this evening an hour early and spent time doing some strengthening (yay Pilates and Yoga!), some modern technique phrase work for the feet, and finally some improvisation. This has to be one of my most habitual improvisations. I am so sick of seeing myself do the same things! I have to go into my improvisations with a plan from now on. My arms can circle, bend, and reach. My spine can undulate. Yes, I know, so why on earth do I keep repeating myself? The worst part is that repetition feels so good. The patterns are so easy and satisfying, like visiting with an old friend. The autopilot doesn't stretch my brain or push me outside of my comfort zone. Next time....why is it always next time....but I will, I will make new movement friends.
