It was interesting to me this week to reflect on the impact abstracting a piece can have on the overall mood of the piece. In class on Thursday we created a very literal piece that basically told the story of the Black Cat with movement. I think we were getting locked into the text which is hard to pull from as a group because it is written in first person so only the author was doing the speaking.
Tara came by and watched our piece and suggested we abstract it more. I left the class feeling a bit defeated and mentally exhausted not knowing where our piece was headed.
We had a rehearsal later that evening and there was a new energy, all of us ready to work through our piece. I think it helped that we were in the movement studio because all of a sudden we were creating a whole score with beautiful movements and something way more abstract.
We have begun to polish this piece and I am looking forward to workshopping it to see what the class has for feedback.
