Idag startade vi igang rehearsals igen. Fram till mars kommer vi att arbeta med matematiska problem som vi omvandlar till kropp- och koreografiproblem. Idag handlade det om tessellations. Storsta fragan vi hade var hur vi kan forma nagot som ar viktlost och 2D? Vilka regler kan vi satta for oss sjalva och denna problemlosning?
Vi har en dansare som jobbar pa MoMath som kommer vara med i projektet och en kille fran Alvin Ailey School, bada tva var dar idag tillsammans med mig och koreografen. Projektet kommer aven besta av oss tre i kompaniet och en dansare som aven hon har gatt ut Juilliard. Kommer bli valdigt spannade och se hur varat performance i mars kommer att se ut.

Today we started our rehearsals again. Until March, we will work with mathematical problems that we transform to body- and choreography problems. Today was about tessellations. Biggest question we had was how we can shape something with no weight and 2D? What are the rules we set for ourselves and this problem solving?
We have a dancer who works at MoMath who will be involved in this project and a guy from the Alvin Ailey School, both of them were there today with me and the choreographer. The project will consist three of us in the company and a dancer that also graduated from Juilliard. It will be very exciting to see how our performance in March will turn out.

I somras akte kompaniet till Helsingborg under en av de lediga dagarna mellan forestallningarna. Da gjorde vi en av David‘s (var kameraman och skaparen av filmen Hastdans pa Hovdala) “DaveyDanceBlog”. Det gar ut pa att alla har var sin ipod/mp3 spelare och horlurar. En chans, en tagning, en dans. Alla startar musiken samtidigt och dansen borjar. Ingen annan hor sa vad de ser ar nagra som dansar runt i samma takt. Valdigt coolt projekt! David har akt over hela varlden och spelat in dessa filmer. Hur kul som helst!

This summer the company went to Helsingborg during one of the days off between the performances. Then, we made one of David’s (the cameraman and the creator of the movie Hastdans pa Hovdala) “DaveyDanceBlog”. The rule is that everybody have their ipod/mp3 player and headphones. One chance, one shot, one dance. All music starts at the same time and the dance begins. Noone else can hear so what they see are people dancing around to the same rytm. Very cool project! David has gone all over the world and recorded these videos. So much fun!

Dancing: David, Carlye, Tal, Jessica, JoAnna and me (in the flower dress)
