Choreographic Exploration inspired by Rosemary Lee

Today we explored a task which was inspired by Rosemary Lee's choreographic device which she explored whilst making "The Suchness of Heni and Eddie". The task consisted of our dancers looking at different pictures which were all about relationships. We then asked them to move and explore these relationships with each other. Our dancers experienced difficulties to portray the different relationships at first, we then however slightly changed the tasks to showing one dancer a different photo portraying a different relationship to the other dancers photo. This seemed to help the dancers explore not only a better relationship towards their movement but also towards each others movement. Both dancers quickly emerged into exploring original movement which connected to each other, and often formed a noticeable narrative line.  It was noticeable that this exploration helped the dancers to connect and explore not just their own boundaries but also their partners which gave them a broader understanding of interdependency and the connection and link to human relationships and how this can alter not just from a day to day basis but also from exploration task to exploration task.
