Katye's Class..

Started lying with the back surface on the floor..

 

Rocking the skull from side to side - feeling the axis.

Arcing in the skull - the nose arcing backward and forward.

Allowing the heels to join in this arcing - speeding up until it becomes a rocking.

Rocking the pelvis from side to side (raising the knees a little - feet on the floor).

Allowing the knees to fall completely to one side & the skull to the other - the ear of the skull & the ear of the pelvis on the floor.

Move this into rocking side to side.

On one side - arcing in the spine (nose & knees coming together then pushing away).

Try this with the image of the skull & the coccyx arcing away.

Rolling over the back / stomach on to the other side.

Spiraling in the spine.

Curving                            Arcing. 

Getting to the end of 1 spiral & then rebound, like a spring uncoiling.

Taking the spiral past its point.

Adding a little momentum - I kept falling a little.

Try not to let the shoulders gert too involved - dont hunch!

Follow it through.

Try something vertical & then test it out on the floor.

Lines       spirals      arcs     energy.

Spiraling / arcing through the space.

Partner drawing lines of energy. On & out of my body.

This really helped me to follow the directional pathway. Finding the end of my spiral.

Felt long & taller!

I found that if I applied the directional pathways partner graphic & the idea of the 3 masses (from SRT) I could fully involve my body in this exploration. I felt so much taller and longer. I felt in connection with my volume & my 3D self.

After a lousy week, this class really helped me.

I found it was one of those classes I could fully engage myself with.

My mind didnt wonder - something Im grateful for at the moment!

I really felt like this class reminded me how much I love dancing - not usually something I need reminder off..
