While ever maintaining my deep roots in ballet, I am now moving into the next phase of the Ballet Burlesque Project!
As an artist in residence at a dance retreat center in the Berkshires, I am spending one weekend per month escaping into the forest with my intrepid camerawoman, Nefeli, rummaging through my soul and baring all.
I am working towards a full performance in November; the first step in my process of making work to perform is improvisation.
In this video, I explain what's going on when I'm improvising and my general theory of how to dig deep enough to create dance that evokes something for those watching.
Make sure you've subscribed to see the entire series of improv videos and how things evolve into a finished work! I'll be posting them all month.
Enjoy!
Fondly,
Ernestine
