Choreo. IB: Out of the Box I: Plane Shifting through
Axis Rotation
Course
Overview |
|
 |
During this four-week series focuses on 180 and 360 degree turns
between moves. As artists enhance existing turning skills and
learn new turn combinations, they will explore the concept of
"plane shifting through axis rotation" as a means to
create a more effective performance. "Plane shifting through
axis rotation" -- or spinning "Out of the Box"
is the process of moving the relative positions of the "box"
(front, back, floor, ceiling and side planes) to different locations
in relation to the fixed environment in which artists are performing
-- all while flowing between moves.
Out of the Box concepts are explored using:
- hip reels - same and split directions
- pinwheels - same and split direction
- weaves - same direction
- butterfly turnarounds
- thread the needle turnarounds
- sweep circle turns
- under leg moves
- hip/pin-reel combos
- lockout turnarounds
- flat plane buzzsaw/corkscrew turns
As time and student skill permit, Out of the Box movement will
also be trained using the following moves:
