movement
Inspired from Laban and Suzuki techniques
Purpose:
The Artist's Journey
As a performer, the biggest part of movement that excites me is its impact on our ability to produce meaningful, believable work. Our emotions manifest in our bodies all the time. Physical awareness is the gateway to understanding our emotional & mental states. Once we have insight on how our feelings affect us physically, we can use that knowledge to ground the body and completely invest in a character.
35mm:
A Musical Exhibition
During my undergraduate career, I had the privilege of directing a movement team in the song cycle, 35mm: A Musical Exhibition. Surprisingly difficult, I choreographed movement while allowing the movers to keep their impulsive freedom. Pulling from the Suzuki technique, I used shapes and patterns to tell stories of the songs and used Laban efforts to emphasize the emotion and intention behind each movement.
