Cunningham technique.

Our first Cunningham video with improvements.

0:04- Make ny head more 'heavy' and keep my balance central to avoid the movement looking as though I'm going to the left hand side.
0:26- I need to make sure my plie is accurate and my bottom is pulled in and back is straight.
1:04- Lost count and came in too late so I need to make sure that my movements flow and I count accurately.
1:08- My foot looks as though it is just touching the floor and lifting back off again when it should look as though it is pinging off of the floor.
1:26- Messed up the turn. Make sure that the foot CROSSES over first and then turn through the movement.

Cunningham technique- Video 2.

Second Cunningham video with improvements.

0:45- I need to engage my arms more and make them more expressive. I also need to make sure that the movement doesn't just swing side to side but pushes and lifts and swings. This will make it look more energised and fresh.
0:58- I really look like I'm tired or can't be bothered! My arms are literally swinging by my side and my foot, which isn't even pointed, is barely lifting off the floor! I need to make my whole body engaged even if the movement doesn't involve certain areas because this will make the movemtn look better overall.
1:15- Make sure my turns are accurate and I spot make sure I end up in the same place.

Cunningham duets.

Me and Ray did a duet based on separation and how sometimes distance can make you lonely but someone is always there even if they're not in the same world as you...

1:39- Make sure my turn is accurate and I don't lose balance. This can be done by making sure I spot before I turn.

There isn't much to say on the video as I'm only in it for a short time. I need to aim to make sure that the piece is extended with relevant movements and emotion and chemistry can be felt from the audiences perspective.
