When Eun Jung Choi asked the class, we didn't have a real answer. I'm really excited about Modern III this quarter. I love going into a classes that question my expectations about dance.
I think this also may be the first time I'm taking a class from someone whose work I've seen. Last semester Eun Jung performed in the Fringe Festival, the piece was called All My Socks Have Holes, and I wrote a review of it for class - I remember writing something about eels and obstacle courses. Her fluidity especially impressed me, and its neat to begin a class with that initial awe.
New things to do in modern class...
- quickly slide down to the floor from a lunge through a splayed split and roll to standing
- move the little muscles in the body that don't usually get attention... in feet, face, back...
- move so that your muscles massage your bones
- run around inside a circle of people so that you create a rush f air as you move past
- take eight counts each to walk, dance to the floor, dance to standing, then gradually speed up to one count for each part, repeating four times in a row fluidly
Eun Jung has a very nice website with lots of video... http://www.mutednarrative.com/index.html
