I found this score very interesting and useful, I enjoyed being an observer as we never have the chance to. I realised as the score went on the movement development,  influenced movement from each other and relationships being formed between us whilst improvising. 


Participating in the score i found movement freely developing and i also found contact improvisation developing easily, which i found hard before.

Definition of balance:


An even distribution between weight, helping someone or something to remain upright and steady.


Definition of Equilibrium: 


A state of physical balance, which could be influenced - breathing, vision, vestibular ( fluid in ears and brain), muscular skeletal system and Kinesthetic  physiological function without seeing. 





The exercise of balancing and shifting weight with a partner, was difficult for me, as i couldn't take her weight completely, but it was nice to feel some support on my back and share equal weight.

MELT


Over Christmas i had to research the word MELT.
When you think of MELT what comes to your mind? 
Melted chocolate? Melted ice?
I did my research and found a site-specific dance piece by Noemie Lafronce which was called MELT and i found it very eye opening;
The production took place in New York in 2010.  The dancers were perched on the wall in costumes which were made from beeswax and lanolin, the costumes slowly, melted away as the out standing performance went on. 

This dance piece inspired me not just by the energetic, edgy movements but by the set, costume and the feel of the performance.
