This is something that has been lying around for a while.

Just a sketch.

Not too sure what to do with it.

This is how i work.

I like to get out an initial phrase that is very basic in structure. This way i will be able to retain the info while thinking about how to let the movement evolve organically. Watching the dancers interpretation of the phrase i am able to see other moments that i can later detail. That is why i call this phase a “Sketch”. The movement right now is in its embryotic phase. Who knows what it will grow up to be?(Don’t get me wrong. I have a pretty good idea)

dancer: Dana Genshaft.

HAPPY BELATED BDAY DANA!!!

ps. The game of “SKATE” got postponed until this Sunday. Lucky me…….?

I can totally relate to working this way. I like the grounded-ness of the movement.

Just wanted to say that i love your work. I only know it through what you have posted on the site, but wow! This reminds me of how great it feels to move in such a free way, yet still be totally in control. thanks for posting it.
