Week 1- 22nd September 2014

 

Last week was a very interesting week for me; I wasn’t sure what to expect at my first contact improvisation class, I thought it would be very similar to last year’s improv class. It was similar in some ways, as in I felt so free within every movement I was doing; I could be doing absolutely anything I wanted without anyone judging me, which I think is a very important part in dance. I felt that we were more connected as a group and worked more as an ensemble rather than in pairs like we tend to do sometimes since we are a bit afraid to dance with whoever we want. We were paired up in two’s to begin with and were asked to work with the tone and speed of our movements. At first I got confused with the tone and the speed so I didn’t feel I was doing antyhgin different, but as we got more into the exercise I felt more confident and felt that me and Charlotte were very well connected. None of us was trying to control the other. Overall, I was very happy with my first contact improv class and am looking forward to the others!
