Lengthening and
dancing beyond the walls means to send energy from every part of our bodies,
and to transmit the movements to others during a performance. When we did the
exercise in Modern class about projecting the energy outside of the walls of
the studio I thought about my future, my goals, the paths, the passion for what
I do, that really helped to see beyond while dancing. Longer movements look
more complete because it redefines character and confidence; it also makes the
choreography intensive, correct, very structural leaving the audience wanting
more.
The other exercise
we did on the floor in which we pulled our partner to reach across from their
bodies let me to find different parts of our bodies that can be a lot more
worked during a choreography. I found it was more difficult to do it ourselves
without the help, but after doing it with the partner and repeating the
exercise again it led us actually correct ourselves while working through the
movements. Something I can do to work on to improve this skill is to never give
up and to always try over and over again. I would also work on and improve the
understanding of the separation from the torso and the lower body for future
choreographic moves to make them much easier, fluid and grounded on the floor.
