Dance- painting with your body

Imagine picking up paint with your toes and drawing with it: imagine using your whole body to create work on the wall…this was dance improvisation though dance artist Emily Tucker at the Macrobert  Arts Centre led us very gently into it.
 
“If I had told you we were going to do improvisation you would have frozen,” she said.
Correct.
 
Well improvisation is something you either love or hate, and I rather like it because you can make it up as you go along instead of having to learn a routine.
 
One member of our class, Morag, turned up in a snakelike outfit so we got her to improvise a snake. ( see extra photo) What’s more she has had two knee replacements.
 ( We all belong to the older Keep Dancing class).
 
 
PS
 I am trying not to think of tomorrow and the book launch…
