This monday we started our class near the train station in
Cruz Quebrada. Our first exercise concentrated moving very near the wall, which
was full of graffities. During the task we moved in different speeds depending
what kinds of sounds we heard around us. It was good start for the class and it
was first very easy to invent different movements. But after a while I face the
same problem which I have had before. My movements started to be very similar
and there was no much variation between different movements. This is
interesting phenomenon for me, because it doesn’t come very often but when it
comes, it’s very difficult to get rid of it.
This same problem continued to be in almost every exercise, which we did also in the rest of
the class. I have to try to think different strategies how I could overcome
this problem. First thing is that, I should not think too much what I’m doing
and not to be too critical of my movements. I should let go and do different movements
in a flow. Every movement doesn’t have to be so beautiful and clean, but they
can be whatever I want them to be. I have to think also that this is the unique
experience to try different movements and find new ways of use my body and its
limits. So I have to reduce my thinking
and just dance, imitate and improvise without thinking. Let’s see how this
works out in the next classes.
I loved to do exercises in the beach and I’m so happy that
we try different places to do improvisations. I think that very interesting
exercise was, when we did different sounds and your pair have to do different
movements and react to those sounds. In this exercise I noticied that I did
movement, which came first to my mind. Because we didn’t had music but the
sounds of our pair did, I did lots of different movements, which I don’t
normally do. So this exercise was also an excellent way to discover new
movements. Music affects a lot what you are doing, so it was good only to
follow the sounds and let them be your guides. This was something I learned in
this class.
