Duet Words

On our choreographic day during reading week Kayte gave us a handout called the 86 aspects of composition by Mike Vargas. From this in out duet we had to choose words that stood out to us. Shannon and I choose sensation, perception and colour. The one that drew most of my attention was sensation, because as an individual we all experience different emotions through different activities whether its walking the dog or bungee jumping. But its the way we perceive the sensation we get from that experience, that shapes us as people. This then led onto themes for our duet and one word that summoned all three of these words up was individuality. The way we perceive the world, experience sensations and see the colours in peoples is all about individuality. From this we decided to go down the route of Anna Halprin and how she believes that you don't have to be trained to be dance. It's more about the experiences and personality you bring to the dancing rather than your flexibility and strength.
