Sometimes, when I'm in a choreographic rut, it helps to shift my focus away from the body and work on something external. I discovered that I like to sculpt, and that playing with different textures and materials helps me imagine the artistic texture I want to create with the dance I am working on. I've been feeling particularly stuck for the past few weeks, so this week, I took some alone time, retreated to my parents house, and began my search for some fun things to play with. After digging up some scrap fabrics (including some strips of mink my mother tore from an old vintage stole) I let my hands take over and allowed my mind to wander. The process resulted in some interesting pieces of DIY jewelry, and best of all, a few images came to mind while I was working that are really going to help me make the next steps in my piece... literally! Above are some shots from my session, leave a comment for a chance to win one of my creations!
