Jerwood Bank 2008 – Siobhan Davies Dance

To show a journey across the space moving through three distinct terrains. Within the task we will look at how an imagined terrain or circumstance makes an impact or imprint on our movement language. Each terrain should have its own unique rhythm and timing and we should be able to drop into each state without build up or preparation. This will contrast our process for the portraits task in which we found an internal emotional world that impacted on the space around and was particularly directed to a known viewer.

This is my final quetion for the site and I would appreciate your thought and comments. Thanks for all your answer to previous questions – and you should feel free to revisit the old questions and any current viewpoints!

As you reach the end of the project, is it possible to see how taking part in Jerwood Bank 2008 might impact on what you do in the future, e.g. in your creative process, the direction of your future career, the choices that you might make?

Yesterday we had our second sharing of the work and It was a very useful and a bit easyer experience than the one on week 4.During a talk with Ian we discussed the importance and relevance of showing the work during a period of research and the inevitable feeling of….. there is a show today …I have better get it right or …I am not there yet …or I haven’t got enough ….which seems a automatic reflex that the mind does in situation like this one.Despite the ongoing ‘mantra’ I  believe in the importance of showing the work  as a necessary form of study  of a language which cannot being taken away from the presence of the audience to define its shape form and intensity.I noticed that the texture of what I was doing needed to be tuned  in relation to a different energy which was preset in the space at the time………mmm a lot to do about that but …that one but….. we have another one to go.The comment where very helpful and the format a much more fluid than the first one…thanks very much to anybody that came.
