Development
1&2.Listen to Mary Evelyn,from the London Contemporary Dance School.
Answer the questions in your student's book.
I've always loved to watch dancing.
I find it fascinating because it's something which crosses all barriers.
It's often called the language of dance.It's a way of communicating
emotion or feelings,stories,without having to use words.
Strength is very,very important to the dancer,and stamina.
They have a great deal of work to do to make the body mobile.
That's to make all the,the arms,the legs,
the head move freely and to have control over the different parts of the body.
Isolation in dance is very important.
It is crucial that the dancer learns to use all the different parts of
the body in separation from each other so that,for instance,
while the whole of the rest of the body was still,
they could move just a hand from the wrist,or just the head,just a shoulder.
Each part of the body must be mobile on its own.
I've always loved the human body and the way it works,
and this is something which I'm still discovering.
The endless possibilities for the body,
for all the parts of the body to work in isolation from each other or together.
This is a study which I imagine will take me all my life.
