Feedback for duet from our peers and Kayte

We were firstly worried about if our idea came across clearly enough, but our peers assured us it was very clear. Kayte's feedback was that we shouldn't go down the path of contact improvisation but stick to simple activities like running or walking. These apparently show how different we are as movers rather than trying to overwork the idea. As a duet we didn't even think about it, because it seemed far to simple. Our peers thought out movement was very similar to that of out studio practice classes and that we shouldn't worry about just dancing as ourselves, which would be a clear way to show individuality. I would agree, but I am worried that if  we did this, I would fall back into my old style and this would hinder my progress in the duet. The last idea that was suggested was about an idea of colour and maybe costume. After each section stripping off another layer until it reveals a bright colour which represents our movement personalities. I loved this idea and can't wait to try it out.

Interview with Shannon and general feeback.



Feedback from Shannon about my solo choreography after my  work in progress sharing.
After reflecting on what she said, I would say I agree about the second part of the solo going away from the idea and I couldn't think of any reason why is should be included other than it was movement I felt safe with. But in response to her saying about having a change of dynamics, I question whether that would take away from the painful emotion of restraints?

Feedback from peers, tutors and from myself.
-I have a lot of movement material on the lower and higher level but next time should explore the middle level-which I like to describe the awkward level.
-I made great sculptural shapes but I need to look at the transitions between them and how they reflect my stimulus. Transitions are just as important as main motifs.
-Rhythm and speed was varying, but I tend to rush movements where I could hold them for longer. I feel I need to look at the quality of my movement timing.
-Great eye focus and drawing attention to smaller details of movement.
-I have really started to explore outside of my comfortable movement vocabulary, but I shouldn't feel embarrassed about experimenting or that it doesn't look polished, because I'm improvising with an idea.
