The specific of Ondrej’s class today was a real brain storm for me. In order to cross the hall we needed to use a second chance, to think about the second option each of us understood in the own way. Although there was no wrong way to complete the task, I felt quite confused as I had no idea what exactly the second option was and how close my imagination similar to the ones of my friends was. I thought to myself -do I need to dance, to jump or to walk? In what context should I use a second chance? Finally, I caught myself on the childhood memory when during moving from one place to another I used the acrobatic wheels as I was fond of gymnastics. I went further and recalled of drawing colorful squares in my mind placing them on the floor and setting up the rules which of the squares I should not touch and the ones with a help of which I should cross the space. I found the mental challenge more complex then the physical one as it was not a problem to show the second chance, it turned out more difficult to understand what that meant for me in this case.

I underlined how the postmodern dance was appreciated for the meaning of the movement. Watching Trisha Brown I realized that although this piece had no complicated motions, they still were energetically strong and were great in their simplicity. I felt like I understood immediately how to approach this style into my piece. I realized the dance was more internal now, I needed to think not about the audience or my appearance but the tension I directed in each movement. I was surprised how all, without the exception, caught one wave of abstraction and conceptualism and expressed it through their performances.

I enjoyed how during the discussion Professor Levine named our thoughts and expressions in the right terminological words. I feel like my thought is not actually wrong, it has a meaning and a specific name but I can not express it correctly at the moment. This gives me motivation to explore my knowledge more and more. Thus, the postmodern dance got the characteristics of tempo levels, simplicity and deconstruction. The play “Medea” provokes both on judgments and support. Once a support stays by the women who gave everything for her love and got still betrayed, all the other aspects might become inconsiderable. Nevertheless, killing own children does not coincide with my values and visions. No matter how strong the pain is and hiding this fact, exalting the power of love would not be honest. Now I know however, that postdramatic theater allows not to cover the entire plot of the story but to get inspired from any of the chapters. Thus, I should be less sharp in my conclusions.
