Thoughts and Ideas 10/30
CONVERSATION Starter
Make, Unmake, Recreate. Have you ever? I pose that we all have, in some areas of our lives or another. Cruise your memory and find places you have 'made, unmade, and recreated' something. Now consider the concept with dance or dance training. How can starting over with the same material refine a goal, a movement, a choreography? Discuss.
Creative Experiment
Write a short poem. Cut it up and reassemble it. Pick a word. Make as many words as possible with the letters. Make your bed, unmake, and remake it. Try the same thing with a short piece of choreography or a combination. Play. Observe. Discuss.
