Keshet choreography residency

Goals

• Create "sections" of music with clear meaning / thematic content that might be useful for Traipse or Move-style pieces.
• Learn from other choreographers.

Approach

• Use time in studio to explore choreo concepts / arrangement
• Use evenings to sample Keshet, Albuquerque
• Use remaining time to compose on Octatrack
• Prep questions every day to ask others

Ideas for studio time

• regular improv: search through tracks for inspiration, use that for own Octatrack composition
• "lyrical" choreo arrangements (rhyming, variation)
• breaking from one zone into another
• X-pattern improv
• odd-timed movement phrase that only makes sense when the jiuchi enters

Wrap-up

Life-changing!  I realized the value of residencies for creative time.  I met Stephanie, Erin, and Minh!  And I'm going back to Keshet this month (Sept 2019) to get a video of Whoa.  Excited to have a continuing relationship with the organization.
