But, there was about 7 people in the lesson now, I hope it doesn't expand TOO much. I like it small, I can regain more attention that way if I am in need of help or confused about the work.
Moving on - This lesson we used to Library to continue off our presentations, I didn't finish off a lot because I used this lesson to more likely use understanding then "jotting down" or typing up information. I finished off a few more thing on Martha Graham's movement "THE CONTRACTION" and "THE RELEASE".
ONE COOOL FACT - I learnt that "THE CONTRACTION" is the hard part where most balance, power and strain is taken place in the whole body and involves a lot of arm movement. And that "THE RELEASE" is all to do with the breathing and the connection from the dance to the EARTH (Floor), this movement occured mainly from the pelvis frame up to the back and to the neck, then the head and that the head must always be in lined with the spine. My motto for this is, "A FOCUSED DANCER IS ALWAYS A SUCCESSFUL DANCER!".
Look at an example of "THE CONTRACTION" in this picture..
E.g
This is a very WOW kind of movement! Can you see how her leg is holding up the rest of her body weight?
And how her leg and arm are in line with eachother and how her FACIAL EXPRESSION is so SERIOUS :O This is a perfect and common example of "THE CONTRACTION".
Another example of Marthas Grahams kind of dance is "THE RELEASE"
Can you see how most action is taken place for her pelvis and upper body and how straight everything is?!
It take a PROFESSIONAL DANCER to be able to do these kind of movements. Amazing ay?
Hopefully, next lesson I would have finished off the presentation, I still have TONS to do. One of the biggest sections Ive been focusing on is Martha Grahams when I still have about 4 or 5 people to do, not to worry though. Their part of Contemporary dance was not as a wide variety and complicated as her's.Theirs are very basic.
Overall,
