Let’s reduce the fossilisation of the balletic vocabulary and use ballet to practice magnetising aliveness instead. Is there still space and permission for glamour in ballet class? That expression of class exuded from the courage to hold big dreams and visions. Glamour found in fashion magazines, but there’s also that kind which comes from the deepened appreciation of the moments of joy and woe in this miracle of existence.
Retire your inner “good ballet student” and curate a lush internal tapestry of stories, scenes, sensory and visual arts considerations that engage your brain/imagination to swirl differently to invigorate your physicality into eloquent and pulsating expressions that only happen to be reminiscent of balletic form.
Get sensual with how your skin slips and slices the ocean of air molecules around you. Ponder on how each tendu is a language of seduction through pressure and friction with the floor. Can you recall a lost love, surrender to innocent springs of glee, be possessed with the idea of having wings, wonder about how your bodily angles illuminate the room while you meander through the structure of a ballet exercise? What’s your trip to movement satisfaction?
Let’s play process to embody a range of support on music.
