Allan McIntyre: Back into the Swing of Things!
Tuesday, May 6 2003, 04:50
Was starting to get back into the swing of things, when they throw a surprise Bank Holiday at me! So, of course my body clock has completely broken down again after this minor setback! It's been a struggle to get through the day so far, and I've got production rehearsals until 4.30 to look forward too this afternoon!
My class is making a piece based on wall/rock/ice climbing! This is mainly due to the fact that our choreographer/tutor, Dave, climbs in his spare time, and teaches children at weekends! It's becoming a bit clearer now what’s going to be happening, although I'm still don't really get it!
We had each to make a short solo last week, which had to be based on 'the feelings someone goes through when they know an avalanche is coming down on them'! This sounded a bit weird to me too, but this was before Dave explained to us (in graphic detail!) about how an avalanche kills you! The snow enters your head through every hole possible and turns rock solid inside your head! Scary or what!!!!
Enough of the morbid stuff! We're doing some really nice movement in a climbing section! It's very deep and concentrated, and watching them is really weird, because you kind of go dumbstruck with the intensity!
Now that I'm in this deep and thinky frame of mind, I shall return to the studio to help create some choreographic magic!
