fabric

i took perhaps one or two years of rhythm gymnastics and felt very clumsy adding props to dance...Fabric can be a wonderful addition to a dance, whether it is choreographed, improvised, for the audience of One (the One), or for a gathering.

The exercise in the last post, bubble painting, can be done with fabric. Large or small chiffon or organza scarves work well. Carving or swirling while holding it in both hands or just one hand or alternate. Contrast is ALWAYS a good thing in choreography...for example, you want variety of levels in a dance - high, medium, and low...not just in one level.

Swirl....Wave....Throw it up high, and dance under it....Throw it up high and catch it with a different body part.

p.s. that is not me in the picture...it's beautiful to watch, but i have absolutely NO desire to put on point shoes!
