FYF CHALLENGE #26: PLAYING WITH GESTURES

LAUNCHED: January 3, 2016

THE PROMPT:

I wanted to have some fun playing with an element of FYF class...online! Let’s develop and play with creative GESTURES, integrating them into our dance and freestyle! Watch

the video for more the explanation, and an example...

Gesture Tip: Working with the gesture I give you, find movement that integrates, honors, or is inspired by this gesture! Allow yourself to feel that gesture physically, what ideas it brings to your movement, shapes, and transitions from the floor to the air. Then, potentially tap into the emotional nature of that gesture! How does it feel, or make you or others feel? When you watch your video, what do you see? You may explore one song, or a few songs to find a way where the gesture can be fully inhabited. Don’t forget to change the perspective, you have so many apparatus, angles, and levels where this gesture can come alive – find your own way that works for you. I will post a new gesture to work with after we have explored this one! Have fun!!!! Happy Freestyling.

If you want to follow along with others, follow the hashtag #findingyourfreestyle and/or #gestureplay, and tag your friends and fellow movers so they can join you!
