Dance 1 Students are taking these weeks to reflect on
their gifts, growing talents and overall health as an individual this month.
Dancers know how helpful- and harsh- mirrors can be in this
field of art, so St. Lucy's Dancers are taking action to change that. We dance to communicate our thoughts and feelings, but mostly to celebrate our
existence. Who needs a mirror to tell you how beautiful of a dancer you
really are? Be your own kind of
beautiful.
By sharing inspirational quotes, writing letters and poems to the class,
creating a "body beautiful" collage and responding to a live poetry
performance on body image, our dancers are remembering the importance of this
performing art.
"Look at me" is spoken word performance piece commissioned by Jessica Starr for MUSE Dance Company. The poem was written and performed by Azure Antoinette with Choreography by Jessica Starr. The Choreography is performed by members of MUSE Dance Company. "Look at Me" was performed in October 2010 in Tuscon Arizona at the University of Arizona Jazz Showcase. "Look at Me" received raucous applause and rave reviews.
ASSIGNMENT: Dance 1 Students are to write or type a one paragraph response to this video. Reflections will be discussed as a class and taped on the class mirrors. Due Tuesday, April 15.
