Over past couple of weeks my older students have been beginning to choreograph small pieces in preparation for the hard work of developing work for our performance in November. Each week a different dancer leads a group and this has been very valuable experience both in realizing what is required to make dance but even more importantly what is required to take direction. When a dancer finds their group difficult to manage because of talking or generally mucking around hopefully there is a realization that they too need to be focused when being directed. All up it has been a delight to watch busy engaged young people creating beautiful movement. Do you have any strategies for engaging focus? Do you have choreographic ideas that consistently work for you? I would love to hear from you.
