And I particularly admire the tender construction of your spine

The ADF student concert was last night. I presented a section of a new work — a duet — that Caitlin and I performed (see a previous posting for my beginning thoughts about the work). Performing the piece was difficult in this space, as I see it in a more intimate space, closer to its audience and with dimmer lighting, but this was a very informal concert. I even had to beg them to let me close the curtains a bit, haha.
I also danced in a piece put together by one of my classmates, Josh Teal (video on facebook).

Here’s video of the performance…it’s a little shaky and pretty hard to see, but it’s better than nothing!

Please feel free to send me any feedback you might have (here or email: eelyle@gmail.com). I’d love to hear all thoughts, and constructive criticism is certainly welcome!! I plan to continue focusing on and developing more deeply the ideas and movement in this work. I want to manipulate my traveling section into a more set phrasing, investigating directionality, bring emphasis off the throwing of the arms and allowing more time within the movement. I also want to play with the specificity of movements around the book towards the end.

::edit::

also, here’s the video from tech rehearsal. the beginning is a little easier to see. unfortunately the camera died about 4 minutes in, haha, but oh well.
