in the light of the horrendous tsunami and potential leakage from the fukushima nuclear plant, it goes without saying that i can't help thinking about technology and its place in our lives, are we in control of it? are we safe? where is it all heading? do we really understand what we are playing with?
so i am now going to attempt to use more technology i do not understand and put some video on this blog from my own, also new, camera. it is from the contact group- i took loads last week and then realised it was all in svhs so my laptop can't open it. frustrating, yes. fatal, no.
hopefully this week i have worked out a different format. the footage is of a trio by mervyn, becky and wray, and i felt seriously honoured to have witnessed it. such is the beauty of a trio of improvisers who have a ten year dancing relationship. funders take note- longevity- this is my concept of the moment! oh no!! i haven't cracked that technology yet! some photos will have to suffice, the first is from anna's awesome 'warm up into creative task';
the second i have to thank diane amans for! i went to a training session with her recently, funded by derbyshire dance artists network, about leading dance with people over 50. it was fantastic and i have been playing with paper plates ever since!
sal came to watch for the last half hour and it was fantastic to see her out and about again. the group smothered her with hugs and kisses!
haughton school today was excellent. really focussed and creative. we learnt a travelling sequence- the group's concentration was intense and they all demonstrated an excellent awareness of rhythm and coordination. we then explored stillness and travelling and putting it all together performed for each other. a very satisfying session.
