LINKS OF INTEREST - thinking with Kolb's theory.

Performances With Expressed Emotion.
I have a passion for performances that combine Dance and Drama. Although a good performance generally should have a story behind the motivation of the dance I prefer to see this boldly to create a reaction and emotion from the audience it is being performed to.

Kolb closely links the phases watching and doing together and feeling and thinking together as they work hand in hand with each other and compliment the results. Out of these two I can see that although my feelings impact me from watching the videos, it is my sense of watching and doing that I have most impact from. The videos offer me influence in to my own choreography and teachings. It is here that I learn my mistakes and battle any obstacles that may occur during the doing process.


HALLOWEEN INSPIRATION!
This is the perfect example of putting mood and character in to performance. It has given me exceptional inspiration for Halloween events and future performances.
