Wacky Wednesday Complex Imagery
Those of you who follow this blog know it
mainly features mental and visual images designed to help all aspects of dance
technique. Today, for all you wonderful brainiacs out there, here is an article
that goes into great academic detail about imagery:
The article discusses imagery - and
dancers particularly - so even if you only read portions of it, the information
is fascinating. One quote: “…choreographer Rosemary Lee gave examples of
the imagery that she shared with the dancers: ‘I worked, as I always do, with
the elements so that … there are air dances, fireworks and explosions. Throwing
a dove up into the sky and letting it go was one of their favourites’. “
Another tidbit: “…take a
moment to imagine your body moving as though you are surrounded by water. Do
you feel as though you are experiencing the image from the inside whilst
‘looking’ out or the outside ‘looking’ in – or a bit of both?”
Enjoy!

“I am
enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more
important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the
world.”
