Dear Dancer,

This week, continue getting into character and using the “Elemental Dance Ritual” to practice having more control over your performance. 

Let’s add to last week’s homework, which was writing your story. 

Step 1: Add the following element to what you already wrote out: Visualize and describe the setting of your performance. Describe it in sensual details. What does it feel/smell/look like? For example: the sun is setting and the warmth of the sunlight calms me as it flutters on my skin. The breeze sweeps gently across my face, sweeping my hair behind me. Etc….

Step 2: Choose an element of that description that is easy to access (outdoors or sipping tea, smelling flowers…etc), an element that you can physically access - and reach for your character, and perform!

Practice Tips: Get into the piece at random moments of the day.

While you’re getting ready in the morning? Get into character!

While you’re cooking breakfast, lunch or dinner? Get into character!

While you’re taking a break? Dance a quick combination from your performance!

Remember: You are The Dancer as Architect : You are building every moment. Give the piece lots of love.
