This video is of a solo exercise we did in rehearsal that explored the
developmental sequence of Yielding and Pushing and Reaching and
Pulling. This sequence is explored by infants when they are learning to
lift off the ground (as in coming to their hands and knees) as well as
when they begin to explore locomotion. We took this sequence and
explored it through more complex movements of dance. I found it helps
me feel grounded while allowing a clear exploration of space. For the
video I overlayed the solos and faded them in and out, somewhat
randomly.
