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....

Kimi and Amanda really know how to impact a community with their fabulous creativity and they are so fun to work with!!!!
I enjoyed the challenge of coming up with gestures for the words we chose at yesterday's rehearsal. Our words (my partner was 10-year old Jango) were tired, happy, sweet, slice, and playing. For happy we formed a smile with our bodies, for tired we made a yawn with our arms, for sweet we acted like sugar granules wriggling on the floor, for slice we imagined our bodies being sliced in half, and for playing we ran back and forth.
