DAY 93 - January 29th 2014 (By Elin Karabuda)

Hi Hi!

Today was our second and final day with Jillian Meyers! 

These 2 days have been such an experience.  

Not just because she’s a redheaded comic figure with a unique character that makes you feel stuff. 

But because of what and how she does her magic on us....teaching techniques. 

No funny business...

The choreo we continued working on today was a pure representation of what I mean with her uniqueness and character. 

She doesn’t think in terms of moves and steps. 

Her creations come from true feelings and expressions. 

So the choreo itself is already expressional, but there are of course different ways of emotions to incorporate into these movements to make the meanings different. 

That’s where our assignment comes in the picture. 

We were to make our own story out of the moves and make it show through our performance. 

I’ve never worked like this before and I’m convinced that it really helped me. 

To be able to speak through your movement is a skill I’m desperately trying to get a hang on. 

But I guess it’s just a matter of time, and of course practice, after coming to this realisation. 

And that practice started for real for me today. 

I feel like I was given the tools to be able to practice and develop on my own after this. 

So, good.

We ended the day with something completely different. TAP DANCE. 

Yes, I had my first ever tap class. 

I like to see it as a music class though. 

Just because that’s the part of the style I want to take with me in my little bag back to Stockholm. 

So that’s what I did. Oh and I had lots of fun with it to :D

Bye bye
