PDPR Reflection by Catherine Dishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss en-us 2023-01-10 21:44:39 UTC 2023-04-24 21:34:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Performance Experience catdishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440038200 The last performance I was a part of was during the SEED show in the fall of 2022. This performance allowed me to remember the feelings connected to performing. Since it was one of the first performances in front of a crowd since my senior year of high school I was exhilarated to have those giddy nerves and adrenaline pumping through my body again. This performance gave me the gift of reminiscing on past performances and how each one is unique and experimental. ]]> 2023-01-10 21:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440038200 catdishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440039492 2023-01-10 21:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440039492 How can I challenge the inevitable in a dance performance ? catdishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440040696 2023-01-10 21:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440040696 Whats compelling to me right now ? catdishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440042928 I am compelled by the body's natural reaction to movement. The way in which the body can become inspired by itself and a dancers own mind is something I have been thinking about recently. How to not generate authenticity but let it flow naturally.

How can u honor them or allow them to subside catdishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2440045304 I am feeling challenged by my course work outside of the dance program due to the feeling I have of time running out. I am carrying a lot of anxiety about the future and I know moving services me well when I feel unsure or anxious. I can honor my schedule by staying organized and on top of my work but also allowing myself time to decompress.

The short time we had with Ido to construct this piece taught me a lot about my body and how honest I had to be with myself and with the cast. The open space that Ido created was great for allowing us to explore what this movement really meant to us. Even though this process was short there was a lot of time to cultivate a certain quality about this movement, a calm, present and authentic approach to performance. My body definitely reacted to the intensity of the few days working with Ido but I feel that this recuperation period will allow me to come back even stronger. I am grateful to have been pushed by Ido when it came to vulnerability and connection. There were moments for all of us in this piece that created a sense of nervousness or uncomfort but by allowing us to work through it to embody the final product was not only integral to portraying the piece but also our authentic selves. ]]> 2023-02-09 23:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2475732678 Artist Citizen catdishington https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2566288916 Activation: What is one way or moment in which you brought elements of your artist citizen self or full personhood to the final rehearsals, technical rehearsals, or performance experience?
- When it came down to our responsibility of making sure people who are not dancers experienced our show was a time I tapped into my artist citizenship. It was up to us to share that artistry and as an artist citizen this bac


Shift: What is one way or moment in which you grew as an artist citizen during the PDPR experience?
- During our time with Ido we really had to tap into the issues we see within our world today and how we could express that through our movement. It was a challenge to muster up a lot of the content we talked about but that challenge propelled me as an artist citizen to share and express what I find important. 

Keepsakes: What is one realization you have had about artist citizenship or personhood as a result of your PDPR experience that you’ll take with you?
- I will take with me the ability to be honest with myself. In addition expressing this with my peers not only through movement but through my voice as well.

- The desire I have to share my artistry through performance is something that PDPR has helped fulfill for me this semester. 
 
Shift: Were your desires met? 
- Being a part of residency in PDPR was something that helped me meet my desires this semester. It taught me a lot about how I navigate as a mover in a committed process like that.

- The ability to choose what we wanted to be a part of this semester was something that worked really well for me and made me eager to put all my efforts during that time. 
- I really appreciated being able to be a part of residency this semester and I appreciate the environment that I jumped into as a B.A. Junior who had never experienced PDPR before. I have loved this process and the opportunities presented to us created such an amazing environment that I feel welcomed to. ]]> 2023-04-24 21:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/catdishington/x26abxiy5anmcuss/wish/2566297387
