Week 4 update!
Day 1 I created a hand gesture phrase inspired by Puchini’s
Nessun Dorma song in Turandot as I was waiting off stage during rehearsals.

Day 2 I explored making a sequence with the German
Wheel. It feels way cooler than it looks
on the video. Still have more to learn
on this apparatus. The wheel I’m using
is new at SANCA & this is the first time I’ve used it. It’s awesome because it’s actually the right
size for me. I’ve been practicing on two
wheels, one too big & one two small…

Day 3 I finished editing The Picnic Table dance film project
with advice from my friend Reed. I had
three different ideas to do with the footage.
First, I was going to run the 1 minute dance sequence with as few angle
changes as possible & all wide full body shots, then play that whole
sequence again in reverse & fast so it looked like it was rewinding. Next, I was going to play the sequence with
several quick cuts, using different angle & distance shots, &
repetitions of my favorite moves from the dance. After that, I had this idea to create a grid
of about 6 boxes with the different angle shots playing in them
simultaneously. I couldn’t figure out how
to transition from the more “normal” sequence to this grid sequence without it
being awkward. Plus I don’t know how to
shrink my clip & arrange multiple ones yet, so I decided to just
concentrate on the first two ideas like Reed suggested. My friend Oliver came over later in the week
& we found music to go with it.

Day 4 I finished the opening act for the SANCA staff show “Between
Raindrops: A Seattle Love Story,” & begun putting together the ending
act… The closer still needs lots of
work! But the opening is awesome &
uses umbrellas! I love umbrellas &
apparently umbrella was my first word as a baby. I’m not going to post the video of the
opening & spoil it for the show…
You’ll just have to come see it.
Stay tuned for my ideas about future development.
