SEE SPACE
- THEN FEEL SPACE - The space is our canvas in dance. Take some time to see and feel with your eyes, your arms, your spine and your legs, the empty space around you. Then focus on the non-empty space and go back to the 'I don't know what to do!' exercise in BEGIN, except now it's 'I don't know where to go!' .
- Now stop, see yourself again, spatial proprioception, keep a strong hold on your body, and focus into the space This is a very practical level of focus. EXAMPLE, DRIVING: you get into your car, arrange your bags, fasten your seat-belt, your mirrors... then look out to where you are before getting into motion.
- MAKE CONTACT - Now shift your focus into relationships with all that you see. Again, focus more on what is outside of your body. You could use the table, the chair, or whatever is around you now as a partner.

INITIATION FLAMENCO
à partir du 9 janvier! Ce cours aura lieu le jeudi de 18h à 19h15, pendant 11 semaines. Si vous êtes curi.eux.euse mais totalement novice en terme de flamenco, c'est le cours qu'il vous faut! - Le cours Élémentaire 1 - qui a lieu le dimanche de 14h30 à 16h est dédié aux Bulerias. Étant donné qu’il s’agit d’un module court, il est possible de rejoindre ce groupe. - Avec les classes régulières (depuis Élémentaire 2 jusqu’au niveau professionnel) nous avons déjà commencé le travail chorégraphique. Vous pouvez toutefois encore rejoindre l’un de ces groupes si vous le souhaitez ! Vous devez juste être d'accord avec le fait de ne pas connaître (donc de ne pas danser) certaines sections. Celles et ceux qui sont motivé.e.s peuvent toujours rattraper leur retard via des outils de ressources en ligne, et/ou des cours privés. |
FLAMENCO INITIATION
is starting on JANUARY 9! This course will run on Thursday's from 6-7:15pm for 11 weeks. If you have curiosity but are totally new to flamenco, this is the class for you! - The Elementary 1 class on Sundays from 2:30-4pm is focused on Bulerias, so since the studies are short, it is possible to join this group. - The Elementary 2 to professional levels classes are in mid-choreographic development. If you wish to join those groups, you must be ok with not knowing some sections of the dance. Those who are motivated can always catch up via online resources tools or private lessons. |
BOWHAY NOTATION
for musical dance.
Bowhay Notation is
- An extensive list of images (some of which are still in progress) including all the principle percussive foot and body sounds, plus the base positions of the legs, arms and spinal possibilities. The goal in the percussive images is to represent the area of the shoe or foot that is making sound. The body images mirror simple bone structure and direction. These images are placed on percussive note values.
- The movements are read from behind, and an image to the left side or the right side of the note represents the left side or right side of the body.
- Arrows on the image represent the paths of the limbs, and the disk at the bottom of the staff represents the direction and/or travel through space.
WHY:
- TO SEE the theoretical form.
- TO UNDERSTAND the rhythm of a step 'word for word'. This stoppage of time to see what is being said, and which foot is on which accent has given me clarity and precision.
- TO STIMULATE the creative process. Personally, seeing all the elements of rhythm and dance displayed on my office floor and walls got me putting 2+2 together in thousands of ways. This discovery is far from over!!
*confidentiality
I am the process of gathering the full glossary into one pdf... coming soon.
Right now these pages are in progress as well as the process of protecting the idea (so keep it to yourself for now).

How to begin:
Be the creator of your own pleasure. Try this: Take time to breath and find your centre. Move your hips; move your spine; release your fingers and toes... Find your animal. Take note of your environment. See both yourself and your environment at the same time.
Listen.
Then speak, from your body's point of view.
