Score with the company

Strategies for joining another person's activity

Do the same thing.........................................................................one person walking up and down

two people walking up and down

Set up a related activity in harmony with the first..................run up and down and cross their path

Set up a similar activity in rhythmic counterpoint...................walk, turn

Set up a contrasting activity........................................................stand still

Help what is going on................................................................... tow them along with the rope

Obstruct person's activity with a contrary one........................fill their pathway with furniture

take the object they were working with

Change the environment within which someone is working....switch of the light

turn on the radio

Exist in another time or dimension........................................... be present as a ghost

Start simply run walk roll

allow changes in response to what is occurring

(in joining and being joined)

Conflict as well as collaboration often gives sharpness to the work

Reflection

My company saw it like an opened score. We played with objects such as chairs and table. We changed the environment by switching off the lights. We started to feel ourselves like one big part. It was nice to play with different activities and being involved to continuous creative process.

Movement studies with Katye Coe

  Today in the studio we were looking at possibilities of jumps. There is a great variety of them: from one foot to another, from 2 feet to one foot etc. But we can jump not only in the high level. In low level during jumps, arms can help us as well.
  Another interesting exercise was to play with levels. We know that the most important and usually used are low, middle and high levels. But between them there is a great variety of levels too :)
  As our 2nd term is going to an end, we had conversation about learning outcomes. My individual learning outcomes you can see in pictures.

Improvisation

On 14th of March we had an improvisation session with Polly. Every person had to walk in circle ( it does't matter big, medium or small). We had some rules to do that exercise. First of all, everyone had to walk only in his trajectory (to avoid crashes with others). Secondly, we could choose between walking, running, walking backwards or pausing.

Before start, I thought that it is very easy to hit another person, but later I was sure that if you are walking in your trajectory, there is a small chance to do a crash.

We did that exercise few times. After that I realised that I started to move with the aware of others as well as in relationship to others.

Improvisation

On Thursday we had an improvisation session with Polly. In groups of 4-5 people, everyone had to do an individual score. It could be improvised score or not. Score consisted of very simple movements: walking, running, jumping, falling and recovery etc. When everyone finished his score, we shared them with partners in groups. We had to explain what means every line, every sign. A few moments later, everyone had the opportunity to set a choreography using his score. It was a good experience to see how you can create dance with the help of scores. Finally, every person had chosen a small part of their score, we put them together and made another score, which included 5 individual scores. Session was really interesting. We saw all scores, as we shared our works.

Improvisation

Find a place to be...
I found a place downstairs of our building in foyer on sofa. I took a little time to sit quietly. Then I started to listen to the sounds, pay attention to what I can see and how I feel.
I realised that I have never paid attention to all things wchich I saw during this task. I think that next time I will go to the same place. Maybe I will notice something different.Improvisation will be the part of my Body Story ...
