Final Major Project

Something that has inspired me to create my Final Major Project as A Performed Presentation related to different aspects of touch. Why? To remind people that touch is a vital part of everyday life, however, we do not pay a lot of attention towards it... Touch can be related to something brute as well as to something that is pleasant...... Touch - is where one is equally giving as well as receiving....

Everything in one place....

I know it's been a long time since I have posted something on my blog, however, as it happens - everything come at the same time and we can hardly manage to be as organised as we have promised in December's Confession :)

It's been a lot of things going round and around and around ;) Dissertation is over, however, stress has not left yet as we I have to concentrate on my Final Major Project right now. I will throw some inspiring links that have occupied my mind lately. And of course, it is worth sharing - how excited I was to participate in Map Dance Workshop lately. It has brought up some nice memories where my brain had a possibility to start functioning again learn new sequences and old good ways of moving! :)

Another very important event of my life at this point is fundraising that provides not more or less stress than events mentioned above... However, let me be honest: FIRST CAKE SALE WENT UNEXPECTEDLY WELL! (It makes me feel proud of myself and Nora Meldere :D) Zumba&Yoga classes would be more exciting if people would appreciate everything that they have been offered. I don't want to be rude but we have hoped to receive much more support than that ;)

Otherwise, let's carry on and enjoy the last months at lovely Coventry University!

Research and Performance Practise

The intention of my Final Major Project is to investigate one of the most important human’s perceptions - touch. My attention will be especially drawn towards human’s touch, body to body touch. Live piece will be performed in mostly improvised duet where two human bodies will play around with the idea of touching and being touched which may lead into some set material, gained from the working process and memories of it. The intention of this experiment is to be as opened as it is possible for anything that might happen. I believe it will be an ongoing process in order to explore all the possible effects that touch may bring. I will explore different ways of touch on my own body and other body next to me as well as different responses that might occur during the process. Responses can be very different and quite unexpected for that particular moment but my personal motto during creative process will be NOT TO NEGATE and see where it may lead me and my partner. Dialogue between two live bodies will be ready for manipulation, rejection and playfulness…

Research and Performance practise module will be my starting and the most important step towards the creation of my own choreography piece. Where am I at the moment? Good question to investigate right now. 23/10/2013 we had a presentation which gave me an answer to this question. I think, I am somewhere on the right way :) Basically now, my research will be focused on studio practise.
