Thoughts for March to get the ball rolling...

I've been thinking about how to create larger dynamic range in texture. I think "three" is a good number for this, musically and dancer-wise. With three people there is the option for solo, duet and trio, as well as two-against-one. I think it may be fruitful to talk strategy within disciplines about this when the groups meet. While there are overarching structures that can tie the group together, it could be helpful to acknowledge specific concerns pertaining to musicians and dancers alone. Here are some things that I noticed, which might be interesting to consider:

-not a lot of eye contact between dancers; internal focus
-internal movement (does this make sense?)
-sensitivity to sound as visceral component of movement
-"agreement" with sound... what would disagreement or counterpoint look like?
-movement starts small at the beginning of the improvisation, and develops conventional arc, or stays texturally flat; how to develop?
-endings unclear; how to end? is it okay for one person to take the initiative? does it need to be a group consensus? how is the end determined?
