The dancers review the existing material then take part in their first contact improv as a group. They get to know each other on a deeper level and give their thoughts on the topic.
Taryn got on the floor and moved through a personal improv while the dancers watched and moved with her. They picked moments that they connected with and started building their own solo piece from it. Taryn also gives some insight into her process and how she thinks as a Choreographer.
Taryn asked the dancers to bring an object or two that represents their story. With these objects they took part in an epic 45 minute improvisation that allowed them all to get in contact with each other, allowing them to know each other and their stories on a deeper level.
The dancers were given a key word that Taryn pulled from their personal stories regarding what consumes them. They paired up, taught each other their solos, pulled key moments from those phrases and began to piece them together.
