Week 3, Intention and Awareness

So, this week our reading was all about intention and awareness.

Intention – What I got from this reading about intention is that although Improv is intended to be spontaneous and show a new level of movement we should always have an intention to what we do otherwise, is there any point doing it? Improvisation should always start with some sort of stimuli or place to go with the movement.

Awareness – So what I got from this part was that during improvisation we should always be aware of whats around us. This doesn’t mean that we need to notice what is happening around us but we need to feel what is happening, for example if someone was to be dancing behind us we need to be able to be aware of where they are so the improvisation of both dancers, may they be dancing together or dancing apart, so we don not disrupt the process that is happening.
