We rehearsed the cake duet today. Lesley will be dancing with Nicky because Charl is on a film shoot. Lesley and Nicky have great chemistry. We started off with some basic contact improvisation principles... moving around the space with changing points of contact... The I went on to the same process that I went through with Brittany and Cameron... except that we did in an hour what they did in 4 rehearsals.. anyway it worked... we started off with each person trying to catch hold of one part of the other persons body (head, hand, chest, waist) as the other person backs away... then we combined this with the contact and found ways to move smoothly between the two intentions... from there we began with the feeding and talking. Today we used strawberries. I was cool, less messy, but I like the mess. I think we'll use a slice of cake with a big strawberry on top. So then we layered the feeding, talking, contact.... which eventually becomes smothering... then the chasing... contact... rough smothering.... chasing.... contact...exhausted...
Oh and the Chopin too.
I like it!
