Forcing companies to make the right decisions, not the easy ones.  Now if we can only get NPR to stop accepting funding from Monsanto...

Week 15 Kelly's Aesthetic/Yeong Jin's Aesthetic /Torense's choreography/Choreo Clinic

http://choreoclinic.com/
interesting idea for budding choreographers, would be neat to be a contributor to this clinic once grad school is over.

A helpful website for striving choreographers to find language and definition of our sometimes seemingly magjical processes of art making.

Kelly's aesthetic piece.  Great it made me laugh, made me anticipate, made me want to direct it.  Made me think of people going to the same job in and out unhappy over and over again. Made me think of you finally learaing something and getting it and then realizing nope you don't get it and having to go back to the drawing board.

75 Steps took me into human's plight of success and failure, sillyness and seriousness, and the daily repetiton of the hum drum so many of us suffer from.

Yeon Jin's work
I loved it.  The pureness of movement, heart felt, the internal confict exposed that so many of us suffer through.  Yeong Jin has turned her struggle into a lovely movement poem from which we can all sigh.

Torense's choregrpahy
Way to go.  25 dancesr taking power and threat into movement, musically matching the drive and turbolence of the score.

Asher's choreography
Although the blackness made my eyes tire after a while the organic movement and fleshy qualites were like a long hot bath to my weary bones.
