This course becomes more and more interesting after we record our observations on the showing of O’Medea. This is the first time I find writing notes is difficult; it was hard for me to balance my focus and concentration. In the beginning, I tried to write observations from a wider scale but then, I narrowed […]
Cut and Paste
As the course continues, my observations started to be broader and wider in scale. I started to not only observe my movements but also my peers’ movements and performance. I can see that our movements changed over time and still, some are originated from the first movements performed in the first class. In other words, […]
Performance Space

I noticed that my movements were repetitive. I was just using my legs to make a movement. However, when we closed our eyes and […]

The movement dancing class with Ondrej, in one word, was “amazing”! I had the opportunity to collaborate with other people in the class. I felt more comfortable than yesterday. Yesterday, I felt that I had my own space in the class where I was trying to build a comfort zone for myself where I can […]
Breaking the Rules
Before starting taking this course, I felt a bit afraid because this type of class is different than any other class I took. This course revolves around moving, dancing, thinking, and reading. However, the morning dancing class vanished these feelings. In the dancing class, we were allocated in a comfy environment where we can be […]
