I watched Brian do it without me and it was great. A great tool to use, for me as the director and for him as a dancer.
Below is the listing of the dance for the musicians. We spaced the dance in the sunny spot and the rainy spot at GE today. Really fun. Wonder if this piece is going to be toured to area schools. Wasn't my intial intention, but it is sort of morphing into that kind of possiblity.
Gary gathered the wolf sounds from Mission:Wolf. They are perfect.
1) Wolf noise-turned on when puppet show's first people step out the door.
2) Brian and I (B and J) enter the space on all fours looking around.
3) Wolf sounds fade and we begin howling. Might be that the cue for this is us getting to center center and you two fading down the music. We'll have to see how this works.
4) We howl in silence,
5) Then begin contact improvisation (CI-the rolling around form) with your MUSIC. this section is shorter than before.
6) We come to standing and start pulling away from each other until we let go and begin the "physical section".
7) Physical section includes, lifting and running and lifting again until finally we do the last lift which is Brian in a handstand and I catch him and push him down.
8) We go to all fours again and walk around each other slowly, this goes into the rubbing the belly/laughing section, into talking section.
9) Talking section goes into grotesteque faces into acting like a chicken into Brian turning into a wolf and chasing me.
10) Physical section happens again, with physical lifting, chasing into us lieing on the floor panting.
11) This next section is my solo with Brian slowly walking, we had talked about this section being in silence. I am now vocalizing here as well.
12) This section ends with Brian petting me.
13) We do contact impro again a bit to standing, I fall and he pulls me up, this happens three times, then he picks me all the way up like a baby. He walks I fall down, he picks me back up over his shoulder twice until he lies me down.
14) I pet the floor, I think in silence, he silently howls. When my hand stops moving and his silent howls stops. The piece is done and Gina rings the bell.
