Focus?

I finally figured out how to add myself as an author on the blog so here is my post that should have been up on Sunday!

Terri, Nick and I had a great rehearsal on Friday night. We have been doing a lot of talking lately so we decided to get up on our feet and play a bit. We put on different styles of music and personified death. It was great to see the things that came out of exploration with music.

The step we are stuck at right now is creating our message. We have a lot of strong images or ideas for larger pieces of movement and text but we have no actual structure to work with. I think that by coming up with our message we will be able to focus the piece and incorporate all the elements that we have created through playing around with the theme of death.

I am excited to see where our next few rehearsals take us in terms on the focus of our piece. We decided as a group in class today to challenge ourselves to write a piece of text for the piece. I have no experience in writing text so I am looking forward to taking the risk and seeing what comes out of it!
