TTT Formation Concepts
The beauty of improv dancing is working together in a group. Several TTT® moves and formations can be incorporated into coordinated group improvisational dance to greatly enhance a performance to the point that to the audience, it feels like a well-practiced choreography!
This workshop focuses on specific and unique group concepts using TTT® improv moves and formations. These include Barrel of Monkeys, Slow Diagonal Fade, Car Wash, Box Fades, Cascades, Switches, Passes, Shell Game Adaptations, The Eggbeater, and the Ripcord.
TTT Sword with JWard
In this workshop we continue to build on coordinated group improvisational dance moves within a sword dialect, adding more TTT moves (Tamarind Troupe Transformations). We will also cover some basic sword group formations, transitions, and sword chorus for troupe improv!
Please bring a sword and headwrap. A working knowledge of FCBD® levels 1 – 3 is required for this workshop. Beginner TTT move knowledge is preferred but not required.
In Case of Emergency, Break Glass
Energy is a precious commodity. And sometimes, we just don't have it. Our lives are busy, we're overwhelmed, and the world? * Gestures vaguely * Yeah, energy can be in short supply. Practice? You're funny. Inspiration? Nope. Am I still a dancer?
Yes. You are still a dancer through all of this. And yes, I bet you are practicing more often than you think. You just don't realize it.
Sometimes, a wiggle is just enough.
In this workshop, I'll introduce several tips, tricks, and "exercises" for times when you don't feel like you're a dancer or don't have the energy to devote to full movement or practice. We'll also do some low to mid energy free-form flow and movement exploration. This will include movement while lying and sitting on the floor and/or chairs. Please bring a notebook, and if desired, a yoga mat and maybe even a pillow. Whatever makes you comfy, including tea, coffee, etc!
