Performance Skills: Focus

In this lesson we looked at Focus, and different focus points.

Focus is where you are looking when doing certain movements, for instance looking at the audience, or if doing a specific gesture, look at what body part you are looking at, for example, in one dance I move my arms over head, instead of looking straight forward I look up at them.

To develop this we learnt a short motif, and implemented looking at different things at different points of the piece, from looking at another dancer, to the audience, to yourself, but a body part.

To implement this in my dancers, I have focused on the focus points, going through every movement and making sure I am focusing on something clear and specific.
