Week 3/4 completed for summer session. There’s 1 piece required to be revised for the final, and 2 other smaller pieces, the last of which I finished last night. I may use that particular piece for the final so I have a 3rd revision of it.
Hip-hop has been absolutely awesome. Last night was an easier night than usual because there were so many newbies, but this is the 4th week, so I’ve gotten 18 regular class hours and 2 hours of private instruction.
I’ve also been receiving instruction in the Alexander Technique almost as long as hip-hop. Strangely enough, they’re both so heel-centered that it’s been very easy to become aware of my spine and the tensegrity from heel to atlas. Which is good because tomorrow I have a car trip to South Dakota, and the return trip on Sunday. 4th of July weekend yo.
I never noticed before — these are from Alexander sessions — but my jaw opens obliquely when I talk, and my head has had a very slight rotation to the left, vertically speaking. It’s pretty amazing the minute adjustments one starts noticing the more one plays with the nuanced movements at the joints.
And I got 3 tattoos today. Pix to come.
Here’s the (2nd version) story I ended up submitting.
