This session we looked at projection and fitted it to our dances in Oliver.
Projection is the extension of movement, and the concept of finishing moves. A good example of this would be when reaching out towards the audience, a bad ballet dancer might have their arm bent, and fingers not pointed, but a good ballet dancer, with good projection would have their arm straight, fingers pointed, and their shoulder pushed forward also.
This lesson, we again learnt a motif which focused on projection with extended arm and leg gestures. We repeated this over and over again, until each of us had it correct.
Many of the arms gestures didn't need extending as our characters were set in a pub, and the characters were all drunk, so the gestures weren't going to be performed in an elegant dynamic.
