At Agnese’s Summer Sharing at S P A C E @ Clarence Mews on 21 June, as well as at our performance at Decoda’s Summer Dancing in Coventry on 28 June, we asked our audience and participants to offer their thoughts on some of the terms we find key to our work.
Efficiency
– Directness
– Being able to work/move in high speed
– Using momentum
– Quick, expedient
– Productive, no unnecessary words/movement
– Clarity, often relate to speed but doesn’t necessarily have to be just… Does it?
– Clinical, robotic, athletic, professional
– With the least energy
– Using things/energy without wasting it
– Task. Completion. No waste. Immediate.
– Don’t waste
– What is ‘productive’ in dance? What is ‘wasted’? Is it about how it feels, how it looks? Directness of movement? How much muscle effort/tone?
