D-TRACES

Stimulus... Poem

I decided to use the Voice exercise, where you let your body react to the sounds, creating short snippets seen on the Siobhan Davis Archives.

This improvisation really helps me to discover movement I wouldn't normally use and after creating a short snippet I played around with my focus. This completely changes how the audience are involved, for example if my focus is internal then the audience feel intrusive on a seemingly private dance.

Feedback...

Don't just do the movement, use the idea. Say the 'h' out loud over and over to keep the rhythm and dynamics when moving. Think about rhythm to direct the dance: punctuation, stillness, suspension, pace. ALSO use of breath! (especially with the letter 'h').
