Lengthening Beyond the Walls

This is one of my favorite things we have done so far. There was something about thinking beyond the walls of the room that helped me to get out of my head. I loved doing it and I love watching this movement as well. The moment it was the clearest was when I went to see the Joffrey. During the first piece a simple step was done where one of the girls reached off stage. She did this movement repeatedly across the stage. My attention was continuously drawn to her. Despite all of the beautiful complex movement going on I couldn't help but watch her. Her arms seemed stretch the length of the stage. It was amazing how something so simple could be so impressive when this concept is applied.

There is something about this that feels comfortable to me. I feel safe when I apply this when I am dancing. It helps me not to worry about the people around me and what they are thinking. It feels like theatre to me, or performing. I am not limited when I apply this concept.
