had the most interesting dance rehearsal today.. it was torturous mentally physically and emotionally.. but i must say i really learn alot.. which is so essential for me as a dancer.
we learn how to express emotions through dance and facial projections. as a dancer i am pretty self conscious and its not easy for me to express dark emotions.. angry, pain and fear.. maybe cause its one side of life that people tend to hide and mask them with smiles and a strong front..
and being able to know how to release them thru dancing is pretty therapeutic..
the way fangqi did it was so interesting.. never done it to me before in all my years in dance.. the theme is abuse and we start the session by looking at pictures of abused women. talked about the pictures and come up with up stories for the characters.. we were told to be that character that we made up.. we even had fake names.. and then we started dancing.. and she jus starts pushing you to feel like the character and by the end of the sessions half the class were in tears..
beginning to appreciate her.. use to think she is a bitch.. opps.. but i guess she had to scream n yell.. well, at least i manage to do my double turns today :) haha.. come watch evocation!
