Thoughts and Ideas 6/20
Converstation Starter
Transfer. Transfer energy. Transfer emotion. Transfer information, inspiration, ideas. Transfer possession. Transfer weight. We often 'transfer' or receive a 'transfer' without awareness as individuals in everyday life, as dancers, in performance, as audience. What tools can you use to be aware of transferring or receiving a transfer? Why is this important?
Creative Experiment
Partner or Group improv. Write a selection of negative and positive emotion words on paper. Put them in one pile. Standing in a circle, or facing at a distance, Person A selects an emotion. Person A begins a movement reflecting the emotion they chose toward the person beside them with the intent to transfer the movement/emotion to the person beside them. The transfer continues in a circle, or back and forth, person to person, repeating the movement, (the movement may be altered emotionally by the receiver with intention or unintentionally), until either it has run its course or been returned/deflected back to person A. Discuss and explore observations, reactions, and alterations to the game. Repeat.
