In the choreography class today we looked at structured improvisation, we jumped back into looking Rudolf Labans kinesphere. we used our own kinesphere and reached out in directions within it .E.G :"Right, diagonal, back". we did this by creating a score and then randomly added a body parts to the direction it gave us.
I found that this was useful as it gave you a predetermined direction to travel in, pushing me to use the space. I found that it gave me unusual movements, as the direction that the body parts had to travel in were not always straight forward. However I found this challenging and an effective way to create new movement material.
His method made my dynamics jerky and sudden, as I had to dash to one direction to the other giving it a manic style and feel. It also manipulated my levels as I was following the score I couldn't stay on the floor for long periods of time, again adding in extra level changes that I wouldn't of put in without using the score.
We then developed this to add travelling sequences in, I found that I used the space a lot more. This will be helpful when choreographing my solo, as It will aid to use the space as effectively as possible.
