Day Three of Teacher Training Workshop

Day Three of the Teacher Training Workshop went well. Since we were working on levels 5 and 6--the most advanced, it was great having the younger teachers to help illustrate some of the more physically challenging elements (thanks Lianne and Alex!).

Loved trading ideas and information with Genevieve (hope you have a safe trip home—oh, I am going to take your suggestion about the DVD’s). I got a kick out of seeing a self-professed non-jazz dancer totally rock the latin hips and Cuban walk (work it Irene). And, Melissa’s bubbly energy brought such humor, joy and insight to the classes (thank you).

In the evening, Melissa and I did a photo shoot for Ridgefield Magazine. Donned in outfits from local stores (mine from Hutton's--I got to wear a hat!--and Melissa's from Parker East Dry Goods), we had a good time goofing off and feeling awkward in front of the camera. It’s funny how as dancers we seem naturally more comfortable moving than we do posing.

I ended the night on a low note though. Watched Lifetime’s new reality show about a dance studio in Pittsburgh (where I was born-go Steelers). Very sad. Fortunately, the show was not very interesting or good so hopefully it will quickly fade into the oblivion of reality TV irrelevance.

    Thanks James for inspiring me all over again to become both a better teacher and dancer.

Day Two of Teacher Training Workshop

Day Two of the Teacher Training Workshop was even better than Day One . While being much more sore than I was after the first day, I am also much more inspired and excited about working and sharing with these teaching-artists. We are an extremely varied group and that makes for such a dynamic and interesting mix. Tomorrow is our last day and I am looking forward to it but know I will miss the discussions, laughter and camaraderie when it is over.

Singularity Project Jan 14 2013

For our first rehearsal on this new project—Singularity—I started off by sitting down with a group of dancers from Webster University to discuss the concepts for the piece and the processes I intend to use for this exploration. Singularity—as I am using it—has two meanings. Principles/Hypothesis/Intention First, singularity is used to mean an once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. In this sense, it is the idea of any performance being unique and unrepeatable. Drawing from theories of relativity, I want to explore this concept where the audience members actually impact the unfolding of the dance—like Schrodinger’s Cat . My intention is to explore, through the use of interactive digital media, the audience’s participation and impact upon a live performance. The second use of singularity is the idea from Ray Kurzweil that biology and technology will merge at a point in the near future. Now, I am not as much as a futurist as he, but this does lead me to think abou...

I Forgot To Inhibit

Warning: nerdy dancer jargon incoming. Today I subbed ballet classes for Maddie D. and I introduced the upper level students to the concept from Luc and Rebecca’s book (and workshop) about using the double spiral in pirouettes. In a nutshell, in the preparation for a pirouette en dehors from fourth position to the right, the diagonal through the torso from the left arm in a la seconde to the right hip are in a secondary spiral. Before turning, you collapse the spiral toward primary. The body coils like a spring and then releases into the pirouette. This is a really remarkable thing to feel and see when done right. For many of my students the results were immediate and exciting--floating, effortless, well-placed pirouettes where there used to be struggle and strain. However, it did not work for all of them. Some of the students were so entrenched in their habitual turning patterns that they could not let go of those habits to make room for this new exploration. This is where I m...
