This video shows a small piece of choreo we have learnt for our contemporary assessment using Horton. As we had only been studying the Horton technique for a short time it took a while to grasp how to perform the choreography. Now that I feel more comfortable with the style I can add different elements to execute the movements in a more interesting way such as the use of breath.

"Mattox stresses that all lines of the body must lengthen during each exercise. He encourages dancers to envision being inside a sphere that just touches their fingers and toes when the arms and legs are outstretched, and tells students to imagine lengthening their body lines so that they poke through this sphere." (Boross, 2002.)

This is the lateral stretch exercise we have been working on in contemporary. It focuses mainly on the same areas as the flat back excersice shown in video 1. Once our bodies become stronger and adpat to the Horton technique we will be moving onto more advanced interpritations of these exercises.

Within our contemporary lessons with Julius we have been focusing on the Horton technique. This technique is made up of flat backs, tilts, lunges and lateral stretches. This is a flat back excercise we have been working on, it is used to stabilize your core, stretch the hamstrings, mobilize the hips and will also strengthen the back.
