Hello Bennett,
This week we started working on two new types of energies: Heavy Energy (movement that wants to go down), and Light Energy (movement that wants to go up). Both types of energy can go both directions, but the goal is to make heavy energy look like work to go up, and light energy should float like a feather when it goes down. We started class as usual this week – with Brain Dance, Locomotor movement and improvisation across the floor, but then we came back into a circle to explore our new concept. We practiced moving heavy and light, and then learned a short circle dance using both energies. We finished class by playing follow the leader, dancing with both energies. I can’t wait to keep working on this fun new concept next class!
Best,
Miss Jessie
