Carla Young - Final Project

Describe your process. How did you choose your project.

I choose this project because I want to enhance and build on my movements and self awareness using the chair as an apparatus. I wanted to figure out away to add more flow, floor flow movements, creativity and uniqueness using the chair as as an apparatus.

What felt good ( or provided a healthy challenge) in creating this project. It allowed me to get out of my head. However, it was a challenge because I’m so use to creating a dance routine versus allowing the music and movements to guide me. That is something that I will definitely have to work on as I explore combining floor flow with chair.

What do you think your project offers viewers/ participate?

Even though it was a challenge to get out of my head, I had fun creating it. It offers tools for accessing floor flow on a different apparatus other than the floor or combining the two, as with pole, hoop, any other apparatus or dance format.

If there is one thing you would do differently, what is it?

CHANGING MY OLD HABITS,

I would focus on going with the flow of my body, slowing down, enjoying the flow and self awareness on the chair versus creating a routine.

I found it interesting how I am able to flow on the floor but the minute I tried to incorporate the chair, I went to my old ways.

I also like to start class off with a positive affirmation thus why I explored using with the frame.
