First Community Rehearsal Begins

Our first community rehearsal on Sunday counted 15 enthusiastic participants. Thank you all for your ideas and movements. We are thrilled to be working with you and we commend your willingness to dive into the "pot," so to speak.

We would like to use this space as a place for sharing, feedback, ideas, comments, and questions. Please check back regularly and post your thoughts!

A RECAP of Sunday's rehearsals:

After a brief warm up and introductions, we got to work discussing with partners one of the following topics: 1) how we feel about cooking, or 2) "Around the dinner table, we always..."

From those conversations our partners chose the most salient detail, recorded it on a recipe card, and added to the "pot." Each participant chose a card and created a single movement to represent the concept or word on the card.

Then we worked in groups to combine those single gestures into movement phrases and presto we had the beginning of a dance.

We'd love to hear from you about your experience....

POST AWAY.

A reminder to community participants that WAWWE rehearsals start this Sunday, Feb. 17, 3:30-5 at the Dance Loft. Please wear comfortable clothing to move in. Our videographer will be there as well.

We'll be meeting every Sunday until show time, unless we tell you otherwise.

Looking forward to working with you all.

See you then!
