to me it all depends on the location and the amount of people that are watching or near you. When improving in the park I felt a lot more comfortable when I was in an enclosed area where no one can see me. Then when I went into the middle of the field into a wide open area where tons of people were sitting I felt so restricted like I couldn’t move because of the people around me.
I also realized when I was by the water and could hear it and just listen to the sounds of the water my movement was a lot more peaceful and external but once I was in front of people and could hear the sounds of their voices my movement became very internal because I did not want to be seen.

On sunday i took all the questions and put them together, my dancing was very story telling rather then just movement. I found myself not really worry about what i was doing but focusing on the story i was holding within my body.

On saturday i danced to the question of When and where do I hold outside events that happen in the world in my body and how do I move in relationship to them, and to me this one was difficult because i never really thought of myself as holding something in my body. As i danced i realized a lot of it came from my torso and out into my arms. In my dancing my arms are normally the most expressive so i think that’s where my stories are mainly told.

On friday i danced to the question of how can the movements of my body serve as a place of deep research, and it was pretty interesting. All i really though of was what can i do that I haven’t done before. I was constrained to my small dorm space so i really got to internalize my movement.

On Thursday i kept in mind the first question of what if i move with awareness of what is happening in the world. I was outside in the park for this day to really hone in on my surrounding and took in to accountability what noises i was hearing. This went really well for me, it was very calming and felt so rejuvenating.

I feel that if your in a rehearsal for someone else’s choreography it is hard to practice authenticity because you are given a certain purpose to the movement that the choreographer might want you to convey. On the other hand if its your own choreography you can for sure practice authenticity, how can you take the same set of movement and do it differently each time, or what can you add to it as far as textures or timing. For other dance techniques I also think you can practice authenticity, especially in ballet when the movement can be so simple in some parts, what can I add to it to make it different. Or what parts can I enhance to make it better and more appealing. I often think about this idea at barre, for example in pliés, how far can I expand my entire body before going into the next plié. Or in tendu’s how can I be so lifted before going into the next tendu. Another place I currently have been exploring the idea of authenticity is in my improv not only in this class but when I take the time to take outside classes or improv by myself in the studios I keep this idea in mind and it really helps me not think or worry about what it looks Like but more so how it feels.

On Sunday I played with music that had words, but I shuffled songs that I had never listen to before so that it would make it less predictable when dancing. I did enjoy this day because I was also getting to dance to music I had never heard before.

# data[].attributes.body
Saturday morning I went into the studios and played with classical music. I let the sounds of each instrument direct me into a different move in different exploration. It was easier for me to improv with music but I did find myself repeating my habits.

# data[].attributes.body
On Friday I did the same exploration as Thursday. And though I did feel as if I was doing the same movement there were some parts of the improv that felt new to me

# data[].attributes.body
Starting on Thursday I was dancing in silence. I had my window open and was listening to the sounds from outside and letting that direct my movement. I felt as if it was easier to come up with new ideas and explore different Temptations, because I didn’t know what I was going to move to.

I am going to try to test my ability to let the sound move me, rather than me moving to the sound.

Everyday i want to think of a different picture and become that picture. Along with allowing it to inspire and generate my movement.

on sunday i was in my head because i thought it would be easy considering i had such a good day on saturday, but that was not the case. When dancing i thinking to hard in not thinking which deterred me I feel from open moving.

# data[].attributes.body
i woke up saturday ready to move and i would say this was one of my best days, i took this question into thought when dancing and i was quite proud of myself. then when continuing to dance for myself afterwards i felt so open and free.

# data[].attributes.body
on friday i was so tired that it kind of helped me forget everything i was doing and just move freely.

# data[].attributes.body
starting today i could tell my body didn’t wanna let go of what it knew, i was trying to hard to improv instead of feeling the music and letting myself go.

for me I’m going to ask myself the question what does it feel like to not know what you just did? how can i see where each movement takes me without forcing it?
