Week 2, Pathways

This week we worked on using speed and pathways in improv and how they influence our movement.

 

Speed – We used a scale of 1-10 and as the scale got higher we had to speed up our improvisations. At first this idea confused me as I felt the movement I was doing made no sense and look ridiculous, but in actual fact the more exhausted I became with movement vocabulary the more I was able to go into a completely different vocab that ended up looking very interesting.

Pathways – So we used this idea of pathways by picking a pathway and dancing across it and trying to not use our habitual movements or the same movement more than once on a single journey. I picked the diagonal across the studio because I felt this would’ve been long enough to find some interesting movement and I wanted to be able too interact with the other dancers in the space also to see what could happen with that.
