Joelle Martinec "Moving Through Space" - Lyrical Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

This is an improv exercise which focuses on attention of how movement moves from the body. We use the intention of a particular texture in which to move through, in this example we are using honey.

Notes
  • This can be done as a center floor exercise or across the floor, with a singular dancer or multiple dancers.
  • Be specific about what the texture is. Examples: honey, no gravity, no bones, too much gravity.
  • Explore the details and characteristics of the texture. Examples: Honey is a lot like moving through slow motion so the initiation and completion of the movements must stay in time/resistance. No gravity movements would be crushing (like being on Mars). Having no bones would make each part of the body move separately… right shoulder would pull rib cage then rib cage would pull hip, hip would pull leg and ect. Too much gravity would be buoyant… like walking on the moon. Have fun, be creative.
