Holistic Dancer: Dynamics as volume (10/16/24)
Volume (as in music) as dynamics defined as varying levels of force, and energy.
Working with:
Soft (quiet) or Loud.
Using 3 volume levels: soft, medium or loud.
Along a continuum with various points from super soft to super loud and anywhere in between (we didn't do this but it's a great drill).
Crescendo and Decrescendo (gradually getting louder or gradually getting softer).
Crescendo, decrescendo and soft, medium and loud.
Ways to play with dynamics:
Divide the room.
Divide the body.
Creating a sequence to follow (we did soft, loud, decrescendo).
Ended with free play.
