Let’s make dances while we #shelterinplace

In your house:
  1. Sit at your dining table or wherever you eat your meals.
  2. Break from your typical table manners and find different ways to move your body at the table.
  3. Add dinnerware to make sounds and shapes. 
  4. Choose where the audience would sit/stand and watch the dance. 

A delicious score that explores movement potential at your dining table. Adding everyday dinnerware like plates, utensils, cups, should make this a fun and interactive piece. Perhaps you perform this dance at your next family dinner! Have fun moving in this defined space and use any of the suggestions below to expand on this mini-dance. Remember this can be as simple or complex as you want. It’s yours to make. Take your time and play!

Can you:
  • Separate upper and lower body movement. 
  • “Play” with rules: no elbows on table, sit nicely, stand, use your napkin, don’t slurp.
  • Be inspired by a memorable time at a meal with family or friends to make movement.​
  • ​Reach, pass, laugh, lift.
​
Today’s focus: BODY, SPACE and RELATIONSHIPS.

Happy dance making!!
Would  love to see your #danceishome
