First week of intensive

First day of intensive complete… what a productive day it has been! We have finally met our choreographer Dimitri, and began the process of creating material that may be used in the final piece. The day has included a technique class influenced by his movement style as well as an intensive and ‘chaotic’ (Dimitri’s words, not ours!) first rehearsal which was developed through improvisation as well as an introduction to our theme of the piece. The theme behind the piece was discussed in great detail over group discussion where we shared our individual research. Our main themes are Luna, Soma and Shaman. In the discussion we established that Luna was a roman god/goddess, associated with the moon. Soma is a ritual of which we will be researching further. We also discussed Shaman which to some cultures, is known to be a person that has ability to enter a state of chance when performing rituals. These themes will have a big influence of the creation of the piece with using our interpretations through movement.
Keep checking out our blog, we shall be keeping you up to date over the next ten days how our rehearsals are going!
