Viewpoints

In class we've been focusing on viewpoints, we started by learning "salutation to the sun" a series off yoga moves, you start by standing in a circle, this allows you to use your provisional vision and makes the class move in a synchronised fashion helping the group work better together. It also heightens your levels off concentration and teaches you to push your body to it's limits.

Movements for "Salutation to the sun" 

After this we use "4,6,12" this means we run round in a circle, and have to include 4 stops, 6, jumps and 12 changes of direction, however the main objective is to make sure that the whole group makes the changes at the same time again to the group move and think together.

Finally, imagining there's graph paper on the floor we focus on using different tempo's ranging from very slow, too very fast, the aim is too experiment with speeds until we get bored with them and see how speed can change the actions of a piece.

These ideas have really helped me for my devised piece as it's allowed me to see several things, that working as a team is important and that focusing your concentration on an idea will allow you to push your body further and overall you'll be able to work harder and achieve better results.
