Day 10. So today we’re going to map out our music. This idea was inspired by MCP back in 2008. Mike wrote it out somewhere on Home Of Poi. This is used by a lot of dancers and choreographers everywhere. What we’re going to do is we’re going to get a piece of paper and…
Day Eight: So today we’re gonna choose our music. Maybe you already have a song in mind. Maybe you need to hear one, two, three, four, or five different songs. Choose a couple of songs and we’re going to just flow for today. We’re going to see what we did with those sequences how do…
Day Seven. How exciting. Today we want to ask you to maybe film something, and I want to give you a little technique on how to make things a little funky. So Mellors and I used to play this game where it’s like playing horse with your camera. So instead of having another person who…
Day six. So, we’re going to combine everything that Thom has already put together, right? We have our ball or our choice of prop we have our space and how we’re going to use it and we have our sequences so today I want to create two to four different sequences based on what we’ve…
Let’s build on those sequence ideas from yesterday. So, we had our habitual move and we had that ending in different places, and the different opportunities that we have out of that place. We’re literally going to do the same thing again, but starting from that new position. So if that’s my first starting position…
So we’d be thinking abstractly about where we want this to be going, what kind of atmosphere we want, what kind of space you want to use. We can get comfortable in that space, if you think about what prop we want to use, all that’s been quite out there, so let’s talk about something…
We’re talking about space and today. We can think about how we start implementing that. Again, we’re staying very abstract. Let’s say for example you want to do a statue routine you’re going to be fixed here. The space is going to be what’s within arm’s reach. You’re going to be relatively planted to the ground.…
Balls! We’ve all got them but we’re going to talk about how to use them. A contact routine is an interaction between the ball the performer and the audience and so it’s a really key part to be thinking about from the beginning. It’s really going to influence how your routine progresses so a few…
It’s 2022 it’s time to Get Your Act Together. Building a routine is a bit daunting at first, maybe if you’ve never done it before but it’s such a good opportunity to use all these skills you’re developing all these skills you’ve had for so long to take you out of this improvisation loop and…
