After understanding the direction Jason was taking with his classes I decided to further strengthen my dance technique.

Waacking:
- by learning waacking choreography and drills I was not only able to find extra mobility within my shoulder that is often required with Jason's classes, but it also allowed me to be more attentive with music and how by reacting to it I can create more dynamic movement instead of using my full muscular strength.

Tutting:
-Once Jason Introduced arm isolations within the warm-up for classes I took this opportunity to work on my tutting, something I did when I was younger but haven't continued practicing
-Tutting has allowed my body to re-discover the muscles within the joints (especially in the arms) and allowed me to progress further in Jason's class when those isolations then became fluid movements (ie arm wave)
-it also allowed me to bring into focus the intensity of my finger joint that can help to bring fluidity in making transitional moves more attractive

-Jason's classes were both physically and mentally challenging in which it quickly became apparent that with a lack of training over the winter break, my body was not ready.
-As you can see in the video the dramatic progression between the phrases
-in which now I reflect each labeled phrase within the video

Phrase 1:
-even through the screen there was a sense of unfamiliarity with this phrase from the very beginning, and it took me a whi le to get used to doing it with a lack of space
-even with practice there was still a sense of stiffness within the body which was mainly because of the lack of space to travel, However, this gave me an opportunity to explore the more vertical movements especially bringing posture and core control within ballet technique

Phrase 2
-with practice, I become more familiar with the phrase and I was able to especially play with musicality and the timings of the movement since the phrase was done over the same piece of music
- with additional class I did in tutting I was able to find the continual and oppositional movement with the arms that made the phrase more fluid.

Phrase 3
-This was the only phrase that was recorded within the studio and it is apparent that within the studio I was able to be more expansive with the movement that ultimately brings more power in movement which require swinging and throwing
-in addition i have also been able to apply my ballet technique (ie core stability and weight transfer) to find different dynamics to adapt the phrase into my personal dance style

# data[].attributes.body
-I have grouped these 2 techniques together because the principle and practices between what Arran and Ben are trying to teach is very  interchangeable

- The imagery of the internal universe and the natural support system have helped me with all dance techniques but more important when I working on the ground
>allowed to remove the mindset of a weaker side, by using natural support system to find an alternative way of moving one that may not require brute strength

This section of the assessment showcases a visual progression of my contemporary technique between the 3 course-teachers I had over the course of a term.

-The lack of video progress of Arran Green and Ben McEwen was due to a minor knee injury I had which I sustained. This injury made it harder for me to work on the ground where both of their classes required a lot of movements of coming into and out of the floor
-therefore to sustain the same level of training I watched most of the recorded lessons to learn through observing, in addition, I have also sought out external classes in the styles of commercial dance, tutting, and waacking which require less pressure on my knees (Some of which are recorded and posted under the column "Enhancement")

Overall themes I focussed on throughout this term

Overall themes I focussed on throughout this term

# data[].attributes.body
-Taking ownership of Movements
>By doing online classes at home I felt more inclined to make phrases and movements my own, not only to keep me focussed and interested in a class but to also play with musicality and space. Something that I would have felt uncomfortable doing in an in-person class with my fellow students

-Self Discipline
>This theme was especially important due to the injury I sustained throughout this term, but by being proactive I sought out other practice/training opportunities to minimalise the knowledge gap between me and my fellow students once I fully return to dance

-Incorporating commercial techniques within my contemporary training
>As a versatile dancer I have always incorporated techniques from my commercial dance background into my contemporary training but throughout this online teaching period, due to the style of both Jason and Arran there is a direct link between the more performative Commerical class I do and the training I received this term at LCDS
