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.]]> 2017-03-16 15:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/darcymy95/kthicmhddqca/wish/160565379 darcymy95 https://padlet.com/darcymy95/kthicmhddqca/wish/160580002 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. ]]> 2017-03-16 15:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/darcymy95/kthicmhddqca/wish/160580002 darcymy95 https://padlet.com/darcymy95/kthicmhddqca/wish/160639449 This is a piece of choreography we were taught by Jasmin Saulo in contemporary. This style is a complete contrast to the techniques we have been learning with Julius. The focus is on light and shade and also experimentation.

How to execute a pirouette:

-Always spot where you want to land.

-Use the  back as the impetus.
-Engage core.
-Keep neck and shoulders relaxed.

Focusing on strong lines and almost freeze frame movements.

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."

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.]]> 2017-05-28 12:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darcymy95/kthicmhddqca/wish/174131106 darcymy95 https://padlet.com/darcymy95/kthicmhddqca/wish/174260340 This video gives various examples of what the Luigi technique entails. Showing the fluidity in the movement. Background information is also given on certain events in Luigi's life that contributed to the development of the technique and the influence it has had on people all over the world.
