Bedroom, Lounge, Garden, Street

we conducted a score in class to help us in our SR classes. this score took me through all sections of my body and how i can transition into them when i felt more confident. there are 4 elements to the score and are represented by a room in the my make believe house. the 4 areas are,

1. BEDROOM, we start here and the main purpose in this room is we explore our fingertips and toes by layign down and only moving these areas. the aim is to not move the air around me.
2. LOUNGE, here we take the movement a bit further and explore the edges of my body, here i can lenghthen out and reach out and explore my own dance bubble
3. GARDEN, here the movement gets bigger and we can now move to 4 limbs for a while and eventually onto 2 limbs but still not traveling through the space
4. STREET, here we can move freely in the space travelling through the other people, we notice the community around us but still be aware of what i am doing and staying with my movement practise

personally i found the GARDEN most clearly as i really understood what was required and was able to experiment with more movements on different limbs. i would say this is my comfort zone and i would happily stay there for a while

the BEDROOM i found a little more difficult to concentrate and to fully give myself to exploring i think becasue there isnt much movement involved i found it hard to concentrate because i like to move in a big way and so paying attention to the smaller movements was harder for me

i found transitioning between the rooms was nice going in 1,2,3,4 but i didnt really enjoy it when it came to reversing the process. i think this is becasue i prefer to move on the floor and then get up as i feel like i grow and i will be ready to move. however going the opposite way i felt a little restricted and i found it difficult to transtiton back down to the floor

this is something i will develop into my movement practise as i feel it will enable me to understand my body a little more .
