Leaving, Pacing, and

I feel like this is the third in a series of my dance film journal entries... 1) Leaving 2) Pacing 3) this

It's one of my last Sundays here before I move to Philly, so I figured I would take advantage of the big back yard and bearable temperatures. I've been in a beautiful air conditioned studio for the past 4 weeks, but this environment felt like a nice change.

As usual, it's all improv. I was mostly thinking about traveling, playing with body halves, and building my own frames.. trying to change up my usual flow a little. Not sure how I feel about the music.. I knew that I didn't want anything lyrical. The song is called "The Proxy" and it's by RJD2. I'm pretty sure I snagged it from a friend in Italy just over a year ago..

I'm a fan of the ferns and the pink flower.

Right after I finished filming my dad informed me that we have a tripod... next time!

Short & Sweet, Kind of



Haven't posted for a while because I have been focused on choreographing a longer movement phrase. I've decided to stick with improvisations for this blog. None of the movement in these little films is set material. It feels more like a movement journal for me in that way. I've also been getting a little bored with my more recent films. I have filmed a bunch of short clips here and there, but wasn't all that excited about any of them. I do like this one though.. I think it's short and sweet, kind of.

The music is a super short Bach adagio played twice, overlapping in the middle.

As always, I would love feedback!
