Entering to this class was mysterious because the teacher was doing something in the dance hall and also in a different one where we usually are and she did not let us in right away. When we got in it was really surprising how different the room looked like. There where boxes on the floor and there was this light show/video going on in the room. This environment made me really want to explore it and do improvisation there. All of us got their own box to work with. There was music on the background that effected the movements. I got inspiration from the lights and the videos on the background also. At first I thought that I can't really do anything with the box. And actually when working with a box the opportunities are smaller than working with a partner for example. But when I started to explore the box more, I saw all the opportunities that I can have while having contact improvisation with the box. It makes it more interesting when you change the object of the contact. I would definitely use this with students also. It´s really important to have good guidelines and instructions for students so that they don´t get bored. I could dance the whole day but they don´t have that much interest on that and motivation.
Teacher made the light and video show with this free software that is called IsadorCore. This software is really interesting because you can change the picture, which the program is showing. For example the software can only show moving part on the computer. So if you stay still, you can´t see yourself from the computer. This something totally different and interesting and that´s why it would be nice to take it to school also. Maybe the ones that are not that interested in sports or dancing might get hyped about this software and the technology and the possibilities that it´s giving. Using this software as a part of choreographs would be really interesting and that would be really cool and interesting project for students. Maybe it could be used in the school´s celebrations where there is always some program. This software definitely brings new perspective in dancing and improvising.
We had contact improvisation with a box during another class also. I think it´s easier to dance with a box than with a person because the you don´t have to think about what the other one is thinking. But on the other hand the opportunities of movement are more limited with a box. We also tried to do contact improvisation with a box (one box per pair) and with a partner. I have to admit that this exercise was really hard for me. I could not find a contact to my partner at all. I felt like we were just dancing separately and the box was an object between us that we used in awhile. It was also hard to find a flow in the movement because we where doing our own things. Sometimes my partner was trying to control me but I guess I did´t do that kind of movement that she thought that I would do. In this pretties there where too many things that had to take into account.
