System
LEVEL 3 OF WATER: SYSTEM
In this level we poor the water into a cup... so it becomes the cup.
From the playful, mental state that the flow allows us, we further investigate the form of movement. How do I move and what form or outer shape does can I create? Imagine this as the tangible layer, that adds clear images to your dance, to be more memorable and clear. Like anchors or visual orientation markers that make your ideas and paths more visible and accessible.
7. Loop
Create a short sequence of moves that you repeat in a loop. Repeat this pattern and see how you can vary this base.
-
Change tempo, velocity, rhythm
-
Examine texture, quality, tension
-
Play with direction and dimension
Outbreak: Once you established a loop, be very intentional about how and when you break the pattern.
8. Rules
Define a rule that limits, defines or structures. Be very specific in the formulation and strict in the execution.
-
One foot stays anchored
-
Hands in the pocket
-
Every third move is a floor move...
Meaning: Could there be a symbolic charge in the rule? What happens if you charge this concept with emotion?
9. Concept
Truely apropriate your own fantasy. Take any image, object or construct as base for your dance and explore it deeply.
-
An image, composition, pattern
-
An object, animal, organism
-
The symbol of any other card
Encouragement: Rework the same concept on different days in different circumstances for it to gain depth.
