Wow! How great for me to meet the choreographer I want to reference for my dance senior work! I love anatomy-based choreography and the idea of a body script. Although Right after the master I was really excited about giving it a shot in my solo, however it is a lot harder to implement now that the majority of it is set.

I’m so glad that I got to here Gregg and Tamar talk about their work and experience together and to hear their answers to questions at the lec-demos. I think it’s great that they talked to the neuroscience and bio departments, however I wish they had owned their knowledge and their amazing work a little bit more, after all they have done something that no one else has done for people with CP. I am also extremely glad that Gregg is beginning to share what he has learned about his work with Tamar to others with CP. I really hope that a research neuroscientist will see how valuable their work is and be able to implement a study testing this anatomy-awareness method in order to legitimize it in the scientific world.

Wow #2! The performance was great! I loved the mix of humor, seriousness, romance and sexuality. After discussing the piece in class, we came to the conclusion that Tamar really draws in the audience with the narrative, and the performers keep the audience with their investment in their characters and movement. The balance of emotional content, weaving of the two worlds, performances made it an accessible show that was a great way to bring in people who are not accustomed to watching dance. Indeed, it was an enjoyable performance.
