Day 60

Today in my DANC modern class at San Jac, I asked my students to share one thing they wanted to work on.  Then, we all spent a five minute improvisation concentrating on that one thing.  Since I have been doing my improvisations mainly at home, I haven't had the chance to really travel and expand.  Therefore, this first improvisation is all about using this giant studio here at San Jac South.  

Since I had the time, space, and energy in between the two classes I am teaching today, I decided to move some more. I am considering doing a structured improvisation for my upcoming showing at Venturing Out.  The impetus is fear- so here is my first practice.  Honestly, I'm not sure if this motivation is going to work for me.  I ended up feeling quite stuck and uncreative.  Fear immobilizes me- in real life and in movement.  I also feel that it may be unhealthy to indulge fear- to let it manifest in physical form.  While I think that it is important that art reflects the realities and truths of life- I do feel there is a fine line between awareness and dwelling on something.
