Jerwood Bank 2008 – Siobhan Davies Dance

This last few days of the week as being quite hard or better everything felt quite dense: too thick to be able to swim through it without getting stuck. The solo brief was given on tuesday and since then we have start our individual search through the infinite world of movement  or functional movements where everything its possible as long as it has a clear intention or reason. The task it’s so free that it is scary to start.I have been through a lots of personal doubt of how and why chose a particular movement, what is about it that is important and needs to be focus on to,…is it too little ,…..too much? …too banal?…too gestural ..just not good enough?I am trying to ignore the destructive mantra and notice what stays in my body memory as I keep working and also follow what I am curious about.I am not very objective about myself at this stage but I can see in everybody else a real transformation in the moment where the body as a whole convey something and it is very fascinating to watch. Jill classes as been such a great contribution to the afternoon work as they prepare the body through an imaginative process of exploration of set material , improvisation and partnering work…..cannot believe it’s the end of week 2.
