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.
