Things have gone slowly. Last week I was faced with so many problems that I forced myself to take a step back and a break away from it all. Over the alst few days I have been reading 'The molecules of Emotion ' by Candace Pert. She has researched the science behind our emotions ...how we feel and why...this morning I read about the fast turnaround she liked when researching...idea to result even tho it diid not always happen this way...and she described the information loop we use in the body/brain. I suddenly felt here was the reason I find some of the work on filming so frustrating!!! When I choreograph the replay is instant I make changes as I go along and see instant feedback. With film it takes some time and I feel this is adding stress to the process for me. I am sure it will get easier!!
Candace also talks about stress and fear being the root of all stress. This time I see for me that fear is driving my stress too...fear of makinga fool of myself and producing a half baked work!! answer from Pert's book..? Maditation...easy solution so I start practicing again and it helps immediately!!!
I have also just watched SDT's new dance work...what on earth... animation with dance
The animation is there A a backdrop it seems to me. But it also serves to highlight aspects of the story.
It set me thinking about how my work will compare...emotionally especially.
Looking at Graham's animation for SDT ...the air bubbles...the ants...leaves falling...in a different way now since my course. His leaves were good...movement done well...
How is it different for me as a dancer?
