so if you visit here much you know i love to dance and i have tried many different kinds of dancing over the years. i am currently 2 weeks into a lovely and unusual 8 week class called "dancing the bones." the focus is on exploring dance through anatomy -- thinking about our skeletons, organs, musculature, etc. and the movements are derived from that exploration. very experimental and probably sounds a little weird but i confess i love it. we also take drawing breaks during the 2 hour weekly class. so today i am sharing a drawing i made of my own skeleton (with apologies for less than ideal photo quality -- it was a pencil drawing):
i know, funny huh? when i was young i used to hate to think about my skeleton because it freaked me out but now i kind of like thinking about the amazing bones that keep me upright!
and this is a drawing from the second class of how i felt after we'd been dancing for quite awhile, considering the relationship of our skin to the physical space:
i never said i could draw...
okay, so this was a different sort of post but i thought i'd share. i'm having a great time with it.
love to all.
