Rooted. 1st rehearsal with Denise Rowe






First of all I would like to say 'Thank You' to the tutors of Coventry University for the opportunity given to us - work with choreographers for The Performance Projects. Another 'Thank You' I would like to say to the 'Rooted Dance Company' and their choreographer Denise Rowe for the amazing time spent together.
11/8/2011 we had the 1st rehearsal with Denise Rowe. It was challenging for me as I have never danced before African Dances. It was exploration of your own body. African dance mixed with environmental movements. We used improvisation in order to emerge something happen. We were told to be opened for unexpected changes.
Awake to imagery Awake at both ends
Fluidity around rhythm Landscape of sound
Following the inclinations The fullness of yourself
Articulate body Body as vessel
African Dance - non-stylised movement! Intimate with the present movement
A listening body Making space to emerge
Rhythm as support container
Every movement starts from the centre. Let the sound be inside you...
We finished our first rehearsal with the workshop where we used all the practices that we have learnt during that day. Weather report? Sun is shining inside me!!!!! :)
