The evolution of Touching Blue continues. The look and feel of the work had a dramatic change of direction early this week as we pared down the use of set and props to a bare minimum and increased the speed and intensity of the dancing.
Humphrey Bower came to give dramaturgical advice on the work so far. It was very good to get an outside perspective and a dramaturg’s point of view. The advice has been extremely helpful in making a few key decisions about our characters and events that otherwise might not have been considered.

Touching Blue week 4

It has been an interesting week of progress in the studio trying out a few new methods of movement creation and choreography. We started the week with the decision to attack one of the more physical scenes to Moby’s Run On. As the week moved on we chose some of our earlier scenes and decided to revisit them, layering them with more complexity.
Each week we move through our development, ideas change and evolve. There can be no question of the importance of good long periods of creation time. It is necessary to try a great many things out first, then discard ideas and allow the work to evolve organically.
Beginning the development!

The dulcet sounds of Dan Kaplan are back in the Ludwig studio! We have begun our long awaited development of Soul Searching, henceforth referred to as Touching Blue. 
Ms Spratling and her dynamism are back and in addition we also have half the contents of Cass and Emma’s home to serve as props.
It’s been a great first week and we’ll keep yo updated on our progress…
