Second PAR session (02-12-09)

This session began with a recap.
- Going over 4/4 metre and gestural signals

I then decided to add another element to this, that being dynamics. In doing this I would use the same signals but add a chosen dynamic gesture to its character which would then also be open for interpretation by the dancer. The outcome being that the movement material gathered during the improvisation process using conduction as a structuring tool would be the same, but that the dynamics throughout would be different.

During this rehearsal it became clear that Rhian was finding it a little difficult to read my gestural indications clearly, so it is essential that i polish my own conducting methods in order for them to be interpreted clearly.

Rhian says:
'We need more rehearsals so I can get use to gestural indications'
