Production Continues

Today we got warmed up and stretched out then we went straight into the production work. We were spaced for the pieces we have been taught and tidied it up by making sure everyone knew where they were going and their timings. I liked this as it was hard work, but fun at the same time. It took a bit of time to get it looking better, but there is always room for improvement. After today I need to always apply my posture, its got better from the beginning of the year, but I need to remember to apply without being told to.

We then added on duets, I'm partners with Laqwarn. The partner work involves contact, counter balance and lifts. We were shown the lift to do, it was a fightermans lift into a handstand then to cartwheel out of it, its harder than it sounds but its good to have a challenge, luckily Laqwarn is able to lift me and I can trust him not to drop me. I think this is one of the reasons we work well together because if we had no trust we wouldn't get anywhere.

We then moved on to the small group dances, each group got given a story, ours was about a family who was in a traffic jam on the way to a safe place then the dad goes out to see what has happened, but takes a long time so the mum goes out to look and finds the body on the floor and is forced to just leave him there. We were asked to make up a three minute dance around that story, but not to make it cheesy and tell a narrative so we were taught to think of three words biased on that story.
