The sun streams through the window and The Bridge Youth Dance Company begin devising their performance for the BRJ dance festival at the end of May. Misha flies around the room like an inspired sculptor, picking movement tasks from the term that have most excited the group, and the dance picture comes to its most colourful, beautiful, energetic life. Here's a lovely pic of one of the sculptures they are making in their performance....
And then onto Contact. A humorous hysteria is starting to creep into the group as we all realise that we have only next week left. These sessions really have been so very magical, and last night we reached a new height where we had 3 new people, all who felt by the end of the night as if they had been coming for the whole term. Anna led a fabulous creative task around defining the space with masking tape, this led to a lovely section where members started to lead their favourite movement tasks- trees wrapping round each other from Mervyn, and a Paper, Scissors, Stone task from Nick.
Haughton was another absolute treat- we have two new members, Aysha and Aaron and they are fitting in beautifully. We started working towards some actual dance technique today, looked at rhythms and counting, we're working towards a short film for next week- watch this space!!! I just wanna end by giving a special big up to the whole group this week- they danced their socks off and engaged with all their being! Here's a few pics....
