On Monday, all of the dancers came together to work on our structured improvisation concepts. For the structured imrpovisation, I developed three phrases from the laban concepts of direct and indirect movement. The first phrase used the concept of indirect movement which I paired with the laban movement principle of float. For the direct phrase, I used the word slash as a source of inspiration. The third phrase was amixture of both laban concepts and principles.
We were also instructed to create a set of rules to follow based on the projects we are working on. My rules include:
1. Use all three levels of space (high, medium, and low)
2. The hands are what moves the body
Next, we had to decide how to make each performance different so that it wasnt choreographed. I decided to ask a group member before each performance or practice which order to do the phrases and what tempo to use for each phrase. After talking with my group, we are still debating using audience interaction by having a volunteer shout out stop and go during the performance telling me when and when not to dance.
