Cecilia MacFarlane came in to lead a improvisation workshop with us; she is an unbelievably inspirational woman and encouraged us to value our individuality as an artist and celebrate our dancing, flaws and all.
- EMPOWERMENT.
- INDIVIDUAL.
- FACILITATE. (work alongside)
- INCLUSION.
- PASSION.
- TRANSLATE. (interpret... to suit your body)
- CREATIVE.
What stops you? What blocks you? Why?
We improvised for a while under these guidelines:
- LOW ; under a bed...
- MEDIUM ; under a table...
- HIGH ; the skies the limit...
What stopped me? ... Caught eye contact with someone and came out of the place I had gone to. Suddenly became aware of the other bodies in the room. This threw me off. Too many people in a small space.
What suprised me? ... Usually unconfident / uncomfortable with improvisation. Felt free. Didn't feel as self conscious & only stopped once!! Really inspired!!
What do you celebrate about your dance???
Its my own... I'm open to and eager to explore different ways of moving... Intricate & detailed...
What do you need to feed it???
LET GO!.. Stop comparing myself to other dancers... Belief...
This class reeeeeally inspired me & I really hope we get to work with Cecilia again!! I now feel like I can throw myself into the course a bit more.
