Dance Training Journal: 3/30/15

I really enjoyed our exploration of gaining in this exercise. After the sun salutation warm up, the Graining practice was a lot of fun, The idea of focusing all of my body's energy into a single point was a new way for me to tackle improv. Having to follow a partner's touch, made me move like a marionette, which really inspired some movement modes. After that, the syrhronizing movements with tristain, starting with being back to back, followed by the head to head, and arms to arms, lead to some amazing movements. We really went all-out on the arm-to-arm movement, and were able to do some really tricky balance shifting improv movements. Following that, the open improv I was able to use the techniques I had developed with Tristian, with the whole class. Was a lot of fun, and expanded my range by forcing me to do things I had learned with a partner with a similar, with a partner of any body size.
