Monkeys in a Bed

Once there were 10 monkeys in a bed and the smallest one said, "I'm crowded, roll over." So they all rolled over and one fell out.

But, RawMoves only has seven....

We had a blast today working with seven of our eight dancers. The basis for this section the rhyme above. Using a large gymnastics mat, we create our own bed. It was really fun working with a group of dancers in and on a confined space. It gave us an opportunity to layer the dancers in smaller groups and over lap the movement ideas to create a complex picture.

Personally, it was a really good working day for the two of us. We were finishing each others sentences, again, and thinking the same thoughts at the same time. This doesn't always happen but when it does - DAMN! Things just seem to flow so nicely. Also, the movement quality, our ideas, and the musicality fit without us having to put too much effort into it. All in all a very good day!

Some Fun Pictures!!!

Here is a visual diary of what we've been up to!

So far we've been working on the pillow fight and a really fun duet with Nathan and Rosy. That duet we are calling 'Leash' and has the two dancers partnering with each other and 10 foot length of rope. Nathan and Rosy dance and tie each other up during the duet, ending with it around Rosy's neck like a leash.

Got to go look at the solo Tosha has been working on, so this will have to do for the 'catch-up' session. We'll post more on YouTube when we get some time!
