Float - in your immersive Float, aim to slow down a little (TIME = sustained) and lose control in the movement (in other words, have no direction/be lost). Float should make you feel overwhelmed or nauseous.

When you move into the internal float it is really clear in your body. Could you find more lightness in the eyes?

The everyday movement float is very good. You work with the object in a light and indirect way. How would float  think? Would float, not be able to complete the task, due to daydreaming?

Dab

# data[].attributes.body
Float: with float, I tried recording it two times. I found that the technique of starting with the eyes, looking at everything and nothing at the same time helped me get into "character", as it reminded me exactly of what Luna does. However, as time went by, I realised I started to "break", mid float, like a disfunctional robot trying to act smoothly, so I tried recording again as it was less sustained and more broken. I feel I get too self-conscious worrying about what move I'm going to do next, too focused on being sustained, indirect and light that I start to break. I start thinking "what else can I do that I haven't done yet, which body part can I use" instead of just "floating". This self-consciousness happens with all efforts to me, but especially with the sustained ones, as with the brokens I have more time to think and prepare my next move, though I shouldn't be preparing anything.
Glide: I think I find gliding the hardest, because I am tempted to be indirect with it, making non-direct movements, and then I try to correct myself and "lose it". I get too worried about being "gracious" like a ballerina or the queen.
Dab: the dab is simpler to me, as I can just make any part of my body twitch quickly and it's okay, but I do mix it up with "flick" quite a bit and have to remind myself to be direct and not indirect. I have a tendency to flick, and I think I did more of that towards the end. Thinking of a pigeon always helps me.

This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in this tv series in my opinion. Fiona is one of my favourite characters and Emmy Rossum who plays her is an amazing actress. In my opinion, she is definitely dabbing in this scene. It is mixed with anger, but it is direct. He whole body is working together with her voice. She is shaking, but it looks more like nervous ticks. It is direct, emotional, repetitive and I believe it is noticeable not only in her body, but in her voice.

Her character in this tv series is mostly in float, well I believe she prefers to be seen like that. She actually has deep intelligence, but a lot of bad things happen to her character. This scene is at the end of the tv series and she is going through a big decision, and while she is doing that it cuts to her love of ice-skating and how she doesn't do it anymore. I love the moments there, because her hands are the perfect example of glide. It starts at 2:06 - 2.24.

In the show 'Downton Abbey' all efforts can be found in most scenes. However, for this scene I believe that Dab is the main effort. Mary's voice and her movement are light sudden and direct. She is dabbing with her body, her face and her voice, although it is very subtle and elegant. Since she just received sad news, she is breathing in between her words, which makes her speech more light and sudden.

Float: Float has always been the 'easiest' effort for me, because it makes the most sense to me. Whenever I start going through the efforts, I tend to start with float because it gets me to move my body, without sudden movement.
Glide: I find glide both 'easy' and difficult. I find it 'easy' when I just think about how to do a gliding movement, but I find it difficult when thinking about a daily movement in glide. My main example is mostly dancing or ice skating, which is always the basis of my movement.
Dab: When I start dabbing, I often think about birds or chicken, that just run around. Since it is sudden, it is easier to perform, however, I feel quite unrealistic when I am performing. This is because I often think about going big in dabbing, and I have never seen someone in real life who is dabbing around.

These days I find it challenging to get into the efforts. My mindset is different now to how it was back in year one, when we could be in the room. I felt that I was kind of getting more into it because there were other people around me doing it, it felt freeing and liberating. Now, I feel confused. I want to find the right music for all the efforts and do the whole cycle again, like we used to in class. Because that used to help me free my mind and just be in my body. I also need to do it for hours and hours before I will feel like I felt last year.
With float it was hard at the very beginning, it then became a bit easier. I used my hands a lot and then the rest of my body began to float. I find it the easiest with my arms and neck in float. From the lack of practise, my spine felt too controlled to be in float, I need to work on relaxing my cpine, hips and legs.
Glide is very tricky for me. It feels very unnatural to me to be light and direct at the same time. And I struggle to find everywhere in my body. The arms are quite simple, but the rest of the body doesn't really follow, or at least that's what it felt like to me. It probably has to do with how tense I am as well.
Dab is an exciting one for me. It is tricky sometimes for me if I get carried away, I start confusing dab and flick. I always remind myself that it's direct. I find exciting, it reminds me of a fire flame, or those christmas fireworks. Sudden, quick, energetic movements. And again, my spine barely moved and I felt that my legs were disconnected from the action in my upper body.

Phoebe Buffay, Friends.
At first, I thought Rachel would fit "float" because of her tone of voice and her naive personality. However, as an all, I think Phoebe fits this effort better. She always seems to be "floating" as she has this very unique quirky personality and lives in her own world and fantasy. Knowing her traumatizing past,  maybe it is her way of coping with it.
She usually does a lot of hand and arm movements, big and airy and when she dances in the generique she twirls and really look floaty to me.
She also has a wide range of emotions but the way they change quickly also makes her look floaty to me, as if she was floating through her feelings. She is floating her way through life.

Beverly Hofstadter, Big Bang Theory.
I had troubles discerning glide and what kind of person it could be. From what I feel now, it is someone standing tall, almost cold but not brusk. I think Beverly Hofstadter, Leonard's mother fits this effort.
She is a very cold and distant person, she is always standing tall as if better than everyone else, like she is proud. She also enunciates every syllables and letters she pronounce. Her movement are minimalists, she is not a very expressive character therefor does not express her emotions with her body. She still has a straight back when she sits, often cross-legged and she does small precise movements with her hands to get her point across.
To me she is gliding.

Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory.
For Sheldon, I did not really know where to put it, in dab or flick. However, my first thought was dab.
He is a light and quick character.  The question was whether he was direct or indirect. I think the way his movements are sharp and "in a certain order", for example his rituals, make me think he is a direct person. When he knocks three times on doors before entering, when Leonard reveals to him that Raj used his toothbrush or when he does laundry and folds his clothes, he seems to be dabbing. Also the way he laughs, it is short, sudden and light.

Slash always makes me think of the movement that Baseball players make when they're hitting a ball, or someone chopping wood... In this case it reminded me of Patrick Bateman and his axe.
But I could also see slash in his character, he is heavy (I'm not so sure if he's indirect in the rest...) but his movements definitely don't come to a full stop like thrust.

When I think of thrust I also thought of Al Pacino in Rocky, someone who makes sudden, direct heavy movements (like a fighter). However, I wanted to steer away from the physicality of the profession and find someone who simply reminded me of aggressive heaviness, and I thought of De Niro in The Untouchables.
His character is extremely violent (as you can see at the end of this scene). Throughout the entire movie he makes direct gestures, usually a bit slow and heavy. He's "making points" and making sure everyone is fearing him.

When Leigh mentioned in class how often sitcoms have varied archetypes of efforts, I immediately thought of Friends. I can see characters in their archetypes now, and I imagined flick in Rachel. She is always flicking her hands when she speaks, I feel like the rest of her body is a bit tensed up in the rest of her movements but just from her hands, and perhaps head/hair, she reminds me of flicking. She is also a light character, there is no heaviness in her, and you can never truly know (unless you've watched the show) what her reaction is going to be which fits with indirect to me.

Looking at it now I'm wondering if this song was meant for slash? The song is horrible but it was in a laban playlist (next time I'll use the ones from your YouTube playlist) , anyways I felt it helped in finding heaviness,

Choosing to point as a gesture was  maybe not the best idea,  I felt like I was reprimanding someone, but it felt a bit cartoonish

However, I did feel that thrusting is not all anger. Thrusting kind of feels like the ''easy'' way to go about showing anger on the surface, maybe there is a feeling of vulnerability on the inside? Maybe a character thrusts when they're worried for someone and need them to listen?

Timothée Chalamet often gets goofed on for how awkward he behaves in interviews. His speech pattern is very unpredictable and fast, and uses equally sporadic gesticulation. He shrugs his shoulders a lot, touches his face, waves his arms, and flicks his head around when he speaks. This gives him an indirect, uncertain air about his physicality. He has, however, showed less of these qualities over time as he's gotten used to being in the spotlight.

Kylo is an extremely emotionally turbulent and conflicted character, and we can see this in his physicality and voice. He is extremely aggressive and lets out his equal anger and sadness very viscerally in these moments with hardly any control. He has little control over his anger, which manifests in his indirect but heavy and quick movements and speech pattern. He also has a slashing combat style, as opposed to the protagonist's controlled style.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Saruman often rests between thrust and press, but in this speech he is thrusting more to assert power. It differs from Kylo Ren's pattern above in that Saruman clearly has an intense need to look dignified and powerful, so he displays immense control in his voice and attitude but also has a booming, strong voice that appears to even reverberate in his head as he talks.

For the thrust, instead of the action itself, it's more like his emotions at that moment. He's a bit frustrating and angry at the moment.

Flick: Flick always reminds me of 20's dancing. I always forget I can isolate flicking, as soon as I begin the movements I flick with my entire body in every way I can think of, and then I realise I don't have to necessarily move everything to be doing it "right". Actors either do too much or too little. Hard to get it right. Flicking feels nice but I get tired of it quickly. I find that closing my eyes during these videos helps me not get so self-aware and helps me get in the zone.
Slash: I really postponed filming this because I thought going to heavy efforts was going to be tremendously difficult, but slashing felt extremely freeing. While watching the video I thought "wow he's really letting himself go" and I thought it could be even therapeutic to slash like him. We don't get many opportunities in our daily lives to slash aggressively like that, and I took this video to "unleash" some things out. Felt nice.
Thrust: I struggled with thrust the most because of its directness, it felt more restraining to me because I couldn't truly just let it go like slash, it felt robotic and not as freeing. It's like being a caged animal, with a lot of frustration and anger built up but only so much to move around and express it.

My experience and thoughts (flick, thrust, slash)

# data[].attributes.body
I find flick freeing. Every part of my body starts to have a life of its' own. I think if this was a character it would be someone who is a bit indecisive, fun, not very serious when it comes to life and someone who likes to explore. I felt comfortable in it, apart from my neck and head, there were moments when I was a bit stressed that I was going to injure my neck.
With thrust it was a bit more difficult, it's intense and after two minutes of doing it I was already sweating and exhausted, my breath was deep and hard and by the end of it I was definitely out of breath. If this was a character, I imagine someone with anger issues, someone who lacks control over their emotions and resorts to violence when facing a difficult decision. Ot facing a crisis, especially an emotional one.
And finally, slash. I really enjoy doing slash. It really releases my spine, but just like thrust, after two minutes I was already exhausted, if I had to play someone who is constantly slashing, I can imagine it would be quite exhausting mentally and physically. If this was a character, I imagine they would be someone who resorts to snarky comments, when facing a crisis. A person who maybe not able to listen, without taking offense and they feel the constant need to hit back at the person. They would be someone who maybe constantly feels attacked, even when it isn't an attack on their character at all. I don't think they would resort to physical violence, but definitely verbal abuse.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a bit contradictory to my previous statement about thrust and violence, bit i believe women and men would experience thrust differently. Women wouldn't be as likely to go with violence. In this scene she feels exhausted, conflicted, not listened to, underappreciated. The speech slowly moves into thrust. Her body language and her voice are thrusting.

This scene is one of my absolute favourites. This tv series is amazing. The character of Elektra is an independent, strong, powerful transgender woman, who had to fight for everything she has. She knows struggle and she isn't scared of anybody. SHe knows her strengths and one of her many strengths is the ability to completely annihilate people with words. In this example a white, middle-class white woman comes up to her table to express her opinion about them as women, and how they aren't real women. And this is when Elektra completely destroys her, just using words. I think this is slashing at its' finest,.

I absolutely love Fleabag. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a phenomenal actress. She has great comedic timing. I think her character in the whole series loves to deflect. She avoids deep connections, deep conversations. She just lives her life without thinking, or at least that's what she wants to believe and what she wants others to believe about her. In this scene she is quite deflective and also the moments where she talks to the audience, breaking the fourth wall, I think are perfect examples of flick. She is quick witted, almost always tries to keep conversations on the surface. I think she is constantly flicking.

Flick:
Whenever I think of 'flick' I instantly think about trying to flick away bees or other insects. For some reason this effort seems slightly 'Hysterical' to me. I guess this is because of the quick movements without a direction. I like this effort, because I can see myself doing this in real life, other than for example slashing.
Thrust:
I believe this effort is quite aggressive, due to the heavy and sustained movements. While I was thrusting I completely forgot about my legs, and mainly used my upper body and arms. I do not know why, but I think because it is a heavy and 'respectable' effort, I subconsciously wanted to have a strong stand.
Slash:
While I was slashing, I kind of used all my energy and thoughts. In comparison to the other two efforts I did, I did not think about anything. I just let my body slash around the room. I like this effort because it is strong, yet not so restricted in terms of the direction.

Specifically focusing on Henry Cavill in this particular scene, his way of moving is heavy, direct and sudden, not as much slashing movements as tom cruise and the other guy.

Sudden, light and indirect, her approach to spell casting isn't as direct as I've seen other people perform them throughout the harry potter series, she has a way of carrying herself and how she speaks in a slashing border to flickering manner.

Rachel Green, Friends / Jennifer Aniston.

When I think of "flick" I think of someone very sensitive to noises, someone that jumps a lot, that gets scared easily, that whines... Rachel when she is confused or complains she has this high pitched voice. She also has this tendency to move her head side to side, do a lot of arms, wrists and hands movement when she is agitated or excited.
When I had to find someone in flick I immediately thought of her and particularly of this scene (0:40). This is actually Jennifer Aniston's genuine reaction as this was apparently a prank on her and she did not know about the fall. I think Rachel is flick and at this moment Jennifer was too.

Jade West, Victorious.

When I went through thrust I felt very defensive, on alert and angry. Not necessarily at something but more like on the edge, as if even the littlest things could throw me off.
Jade is a pretty aggressive person, she snaps a lot. She contains a lot of anger and darkness in her. In these extracts, we can see how violent she can not necessarily physically but also verbally.
Also she always snaps, which to me is direct and broken. She is not screaming and trashing around, she has like "pulsions" where she suddenly pushes someone or kicks a door. She often do her aggressive manners all of a sudden. Which makes me think of thrust.

Sam Puckett, iCarly and Victorious.

Regina George, Mean Girls.

At first I looked up some Sam Puckett's moments because she seemed "thrust" to me. However, when she uses the buttersock I think her movements are in slash. She swings the sock from side to side and then throws it onto someone or something. It seemed indirect to me and also heavy of course, as well as broken since it has an impact on a surface.
As I was internalizing "slash" I felt arrogance in me, like an amount of confidence and of self-value that made me feel arrogant. So not in a nice way. That is why I though of Mean Girls and more precisely of Regina George. I do not think she is "slash" in her movements but in her way of talking. She is very mean, condescending towards others. She thinks she is superior and is therefor a very arrogant character. Also some of her mannerisms. When I internalized "slash" I found myself smirking, tilting my head "lazily" to the side but in a heavy indirect way. Like she does sometimes. I may go in a "wrong" direction with it but this is how I felt going through this effort.

Wring reminds me of discomfort, so I tried thinking of characters that are in constant discomfort, and it reminded me of that type of character in horror movies that is being dragged by his friends to do something scary, or the one friend in the group that wants to stay away from trouble. I thought of Michael Cera in Superbad but he's too "calm" in that. So I chose Ron Weasley because even though he's brave and faces his fears, he always shows in his face his inner struggle.

While doing press I always think of Wanda Maximoff from Marvel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpIP4D_tcrE) but I think she's too indirect, however she presses her powers to me, there's some weight in her movements.
I am having a hard time thinking of someone who mainly moves in press, but I imagine characters in great pain and inner struggle are quite heavy because of their sadness, and Dani from Midsommar reminds me of that. She's lost her entire family, and carries that heavy weight with her as she blames herself. She moves in very direct movements, and it feels to me like she's pressing through life and her struggles.

I associate pressing with confrontation/interrogation/generally asserting oneself. In Inglorious Basterds, we see Hans Landa (generally considered one of the most villainous movie characters) intimidating people through intense moment in which the weight of his stare and the way he speaks "presses" into the opposing character.

I associate wring with uncertainty, nervousness, and shyness. I think Neville often exhibits wringing in his physicality - hunching over, reluctance in situations of pressure, and an anxious, awkward air about him.

Press: I did not realise I did it for 5 minutes. I thought 1min had passed when I finished.
I've realised I don't like the direct efforts, because I feel very restricted by them and get more self aware over my actions because I have to focus on being direct. When I'm indirect I feel more free, and therefore "lose myself" more easily.
Wring: I hate wringing. Unlike press which I did 5 minutes that felt like 1, I was incredibly aware of the time going by with wringing. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable even though I was fine, I started to feel physically unwell and couldn't wait to be done with it.

I think her way of press is very internal, its not so much about the external here but the way she speaks and holds herself is very press, holding back her emotions, calculating and suppressing trauma's, a villain in many peoples eyes, but a mother who tried her best to aid her family in keeping the throne.
