Today it was freezing in the studio and on top of that it was raining outside. That's exactly how everybody wants to start off their week, but class was fun. Ashlei, Shalima, and I started learning a combination with Ms. Mack that I believe is only going to be the seniors. When the freshmen came, we watched some of a section of a Pina Bausch piece. This weekend is her company's last performance and I wish I could make it. I need to start looking online for dance performances that I could attend so I could see what is out in the dance world.
We took a modern technique class today. We started off on the floor with different types of rolls and other floor work. I think I'm actually starting to understand the idea of keeping your head attached to your spine during a roll. When we got up off of the floor, we did prances and little leaps. Ms. Mack had us trace figure-8s with different parts of our body then we had to make a phrase tracing a figure-8 and a shape that looked somewhat like the picture attached. Then we had to partner up twice and show each other our phrases and we had to "steal" one of their phrases and interpret it our way. After we showed the class our phrases we were supposed to partner up again and make an opposite phrase but we took our snack time and then we went over the flash mob piece.
