Thoughts and Ideas 5/23

Written By ABQ Dance Connect

Conversation Starter

How do you imagine your path in life? Does a CV, resume, neat-sheet really portray a path? The path you forged? The path ahead? If you chose a shape or object to represent your path in life, what would it be? Is there really an ideal path?

Creative Experiment

Pathway vs body direction vs visual focus. Define the differences. Play with the differences with a dance phrase honing in on defining the three elements in your phrase at each moment. Change one or another and adjust your movement accordingly. What if you use the elements as metaphor?

Escape and Inspiration

  • Get your art fix at the Inpost Artspace at the Outpost Performance Space, 210 Yale SE, where a dozen artists will donate a portion or all of proceeds of 27 works to Ukrainian relief. outpostspace.org.

  • Get outside with a camera. Study light and shadow. Make a high contrast photo Bummel in early morning light or late afternoon shadow.

  • Talk to a veteran this week.

  • Start a great summer read. https://bookmarks.reviews/

  • Stand in the wind with your eyes closed. Memorize the sensations and use them when you dance.
