Thoughts and Ideas 3/13
CONVERSATION Starter
Repetition. Renowned for building skills, boredom, injury... when does it become art. Discuss benefits, dangers, and deviations.
Exploratory
Create a short four to eight bar movement. Repeat it to perfection, repeat it numerous times until changes begin to occur. Pull out your dancer's toolbox and apply changes in dynamics, musicality, gaze, tempo, energy, emotion . . . play and discuss.
