August 30, 2012




Thomas was here again. We did the isolation progression/activity together as a class, and got complemented for it, which was cool. Feeling the whole class breathe in together and start those movements was awesome—hearing us all yelling together was really exciting and fun. It also helped with fixed point, which I welcome practice for. I went to his neutral mask workshop, too, and I don’t know how I feel about it. It’s more irritating than fun.

BANG. “Is that the body of the mask? No.”
BANG. “No. Try again.”
BANG. “No. Try again.”
BANG. “Too Fast. Try again.”

And so on. To get into the neutral body we did a warmup where we were supposed to embody giants—a warmup I still don’t understand. He said be a giant, but don’t be the stereotypical fee fi fo fum kind of giant, just walk like a normal giant would.

A giant human would walk like a human. They’re just proportionally larger. That doesn’t really make sense.

I’m going to stab that drum. Also working on Laban in class was fun—I hope we get to more of that.
