Beginning my D-Traces project blog...

,The first thing involved in the D-traces project was a workshop with three memebers of Siobhan Davies Dance company (http://www.siobhandavies.com/). We discussed the importance of blogging and archiving dance works and processes.
We discussed the reasons blogging is extrememly helpful;

• helps to rediscover work/movement material within choreographic process
• helps to remember
• helps with sharing work and create inspiration for other artists and practitioners

We were asked to create and iprovised solo from a given stimulus, which were recorded and photographs were taken of the process.

The session was extrememly helpful in understanding why blogging and archiving is a relevant and useful tool. I also gained more understanding in relation to creating improvised material and found I worked well with the style of process given.
