On the fifth day, with new contact exercises, the morning warm-up set the first focal point: connecting to another person or group and building trust from within, rather than by reliance on music, counts or a choreographer’s command.
During the fourth day, alongside beginning to formulate a performative structure, the workshop expanded themes from previous days, namely: spinal mobility, developing consistent rhythm and group communication, while continuing to translate ideas from one space to another.
Overall, the focal point of the day was on building connections: how the spine connects head and tailbone; how to relate and work together while developing a group dynamic; and how to connect different spaces.
