Last Thursday before the Vivas we had a last technique class with the amazing professor Sarah.
We had the chance to think and work compositionally so we were initiated in the "making process" and I worked with Fiona. The phrase changing just came so easy and so natural!!!
Thanks Fiona for wonderfull connections!

Performance Projects
In the first term of the second year of study we have been introduced to a totally new and exciting module, Performance Projects, and I have the honor to work with an amazin choreographer, Andrea Buckley.
Our first task was to watch some inteviews with Deborah Hay on the following website:
http://www.independentdance.co.uk/forum/2010/10/19/deborah-hay-interviews/
Another reference can be the book "my body, the buddhist" by Deborah Hay.

- don't be afraid of what you don't know, but celebrate that!
- don't grasp, but notice the moments and then let it go...
- ingredients of a choreography: space, time, self, audience;
- she doesn' tell a story, she doesn't use music;

Water
It is Saturday afternoon and I just watch a very interesting film (documentary), that made me ask some questions...
The film talks about water, the most common substance on Earth. Water is with us in every moment of out lives, but where does it come from? and who brings it? why? As this movie says, "only water itself knows the answers...". In Bible, water is considered as a concept, related with life! Many scientists had studied water's composition, as molecule and they decided we know almost nothing about water.
With modern technology, people discovered that water has memory and it contains different types of information.
The brain is made of 85% water !!! The scientist affirm that the water we introduce in our body can affect our brain and decisions that we take,even the character! Water is the "key" of information exchanging in the world and it is as well the way that the environment can be controlled.
The words that we use intensely and thoughts that we have can be imprinted into water. There are stories that talk about people who were able to do miracles just because of their profound spiritual knowledge, and by using holly water, that has amazing qualities! Scientists say that the whole system is a state of instability, so the power of "thought" is strong enough to make all universe change! Whatever we do, it turns back to ourselves, not as punishment, but as result! And every word we say and every thought we have separates from us and became a part of global information environment! So this defines a human as a source of information, that makes the universe constantly changing! But water as well is considered as a source of life just because of her capacity of self-purifying: it evaporates, it condenses, it rains, it freezes and it melts, but is maintains the main structure: the program for life!
How the world was created? Everything begins in water and in water everything comes to an end!
Every single word is a drop of water and any thought is a source of information! This is the idea that made me raise some questions about humanity and individual!
What are the relations between humans and nature? How does this relation can influence our daily lives? How do people react to water? Why is water source of our lives?
This film make me reflect about myself and abut my connection to the Universe and it made me take a great decision : to have FAITH!!! and then the Universe is going to respond back...

What do you think abut this?
Can you imagine a water dance? If not...just watch this video!!!

Working with Objects and Memory
My daily life is strong related to different objects, that offer me beautiful memories from my past, or even bad experiences that happened some time ago.
When Lilly asked us to bring some objects that remind us of something special I chose this two things: a picture with a landscape from Spain and my boyfriend's blouse.
Here you can find the first things that came into my mind when I start observing the blouse:
When Lilly asked us to bring some objects that remind us of something special I chose this two things: a picture with a landscape from Spain and my boyfriend's blouse.
Here you can find the first things that came into my mind when I start observing the blouse:
- strong connection and feelings;
- I always smile when I see it;
- when I can't sleep I hug it very strong, sometimes I find myself talking to the blouse;
- specific smell;
- large and comfortable;
- it has 2 sides;
- it is a part of him...now it is a part of US!
Free writing after spending a few minutes with my object
I found new way to put the blouse on me...I tried to show different parts of my body by using the blouse.
It's smell gives me a relaxing feeling.
I expressed my memories -> I was angry (am tarat bluza...a strange noies came out of it...parca striga...it seems to be alive!!! nooo...I's surely alive, because it's a part of us)
What a soft material!!! It smells lovely!
->I felt happy to have this object around me, it protects me, I feel so secure now!
Reflections after the session
His blouse knows everything about us, all our secrets, mysteries, spirits, even tears (happy tears, or tears of sadness)...our own Universe where we can be strong just if we are together...I don't exist without him, he doesn't exist without me! -> energy, influence, calm, safety, love. [vreau acasa, vreau sa fiu alaturi de el....offf, imi lipsesti enorm!! Ma poti auzi oare? Sunt aici... ]
Rehearsal [ 4.02.2011] IPP
This rehearsal made us discover new interpretations of our work and helped me to see what a strong connection I have with Fiona!

- rolling into a big sheet of paper allowed us to create an intimate space, our bodies were very closed one to the other;
- bringing sides of our personalities together;
- going through a process together;
- our movement depends on each other (if I go one way, she need also to come in my direction => if I make a choice, I need to take the responsibility for the other also);
- this is the process of exploration of the soul, and at the end of it we share our feelings from our hearts.
Floor Routine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jNs7qkM8RE
It feel so good when we work in pairs! We can share opinions and also we give feedback one to each other:
It feel so good when we work in pairs! We can share opinions and also we give feedback one to each other:
- continuous movement;
- be as soft as possible;
- head leading;
- long spine;
- head to tail connection;
- soft pelvis;
- pelvis initiate the movement;
- roll up/down;
- release the hip joints.
What do you think about this??? Some comments?
Thank you!!!

Studio Work
When I practice this exercise I feel like flying! I can't see my mistakes!
But now, I can observe myself :
- feet work-articulate;
- softness in the chest;
- arms relaxed and free;
- keep the hips in the same line (pelvis falls down trough hills);
- EAT THE SPACE!!!!!;
- be as low as possible ( don't jump high);
- Go as far as you can;
Feedback
I can see me arms going up and down while I'm jumping and I need to take care of my spine alignment !!
What do you think about it????
Studio Practice Routine
Today we repeated also our studio practice routine and we tried to think about the feedback that Natalie gave us during classes:
What a beautiful sequence! As more as we practice it, more we can focus on things that Natalie told us.
What do I take from this class?
- continuous and fluid movement;
- softness in the chest;
- head leading;
- moments of pressing [ head goes to tail];
- moments of extension [ stretch the spine];
- moments of balance: make sure that the ribcage in soft and down and the pelvis falls trough the hills;
- don't forget to breath!
What do I take from this class?
- freedom when I dance and jump;
- softness;
- foot work;
- the feeling of discovering someone else and work together - Amber was my partner and I really enjoyed working with her! She is a great girl! Thank you, Amber:)

Site Specific
Each place in this world had its own story and it is related to someone's life! Places can have special significance: a home, the place where you study, the place where you were born, the garden where you used to walk... Place have also specific qualities: smell, colors, sensations, sounds! Every time you enter a place you can start a story! This is how we start exploring a new place in Ellen Terry building: find your own place, spend 20 minutes by observing it (sounds, colors, shapes), and then go to your journal and draw your observations.
Starting by scores like : dark, stillness, sound, silence, action, light, distance, try to create movement that express how it feels being into that space!

I found myself in the middle of four white walls, and my first feeling was the loneliness ( I was used to work in couples and this was the first time when we had to be alone). I was looking for ways to communicate with the outside: blowing through the doors, watching on the windows, making different noises, and also using one door as an imaginary partner! I found also the center of the little room in relation with the center of my body and I felt unusual being up side down! And I think this experience can be developed even further!
