One week has already passed and I’m thrilled with the work that we have achieved thus far in the studio.
We’ve been working on solo episodes this week, in close connection with the sublime score by JS Bach, discovering dynamics and structure that aid with the colouring of each performer’s individual take on each section of the suite.
Having originally being written for dance, the Baroque suite was very often named a Suite de Danse and ultimately it lends itself to choreography so well, and is so often an amazing tool for choreographers of every genre.
The dancers have been experimenting with a number of floor and air patterns making a phrase from this improvisation stage. Then after “borrowing” material from each others’ patterns, they have created longer passages of movement material that are developed into solos.
Immensely looking forward to next week, I’ve had a splendid time in the studio – hope the dancers have too! Never one to be indulgent on a grand scale, I am feeling very, very fortunate to have such an amazing team around me in the ever extending FFIN family.
Look out for more blogs from the dancers very soon
