Thank you for the thoughtfulness of your comments last week! Continue to play with using imagery and specificity to describe what you see and what it evokes for you. The more that you can connect what you see with your experiences/questions from class the better. Continue to indulge in your curiosity through observation and questioning.
QUESTION: How do you experience sound/silence in relationship to the stillness/movement within this piece?

Welcome to Beginning Contemporary! This blog will serve as a forum for exposure to and discussion of contemporary dance (that ever evolving term!) that is happening throughout many parts of the world. I will post a link to a short (usually under 5 minutes) video along with a primary question to consider. You will write a written response that relates to the primary question and the points that are brought up by your classmates. I encourage you to enjoy these videos and really allow yourself to see them from a place of openness and curiosity. The more that you can think/feel about how it relates to your/our experience in class, the better! I will always post a video on Thursday and you must post your response by class time the following Tuesday. Late posts will not receive credit. Please email me or talk to me in class if you have questions or need further clarification. Enjoy!
QUESTION: How do you see the dancers using body parts in relationship to the whole body? What imagery/questions does this piece evoke for you?
The example for this week is by the Isreali dance company Batsheva. The piece is titled "Three" by Ohad Naharin made in 2005.
