strange michael, i see you reading yourself or something else into what mario has written
you mentioned your teacher telling you to think on your feet. for me that is wrong and not what mario is trying to say after spending all those hours and years in classes, workshops etc a point comes where you throw it out the window, or at least out of your conscience thinking for me the answer is to feel on your feet, feel where your partner is, her axis, which foot, feel the music going through your body for the one thousandth time enabling you to feel the next few bars in advance, and so like mario said, allow a flow of energy to unfold like a river of water. not stopping to think what is my next step cheers tony On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 2:27 PM, Mario <[email protected]> wrote: > > ...By reducing the repretroire of movements the bag of tricks to 3 or 4 > figures, one can get so that they really own them...that they are unconscious > and improvised, altered, lengthend at will...
