THTR1120 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Martha Graham, 8 Seconds, Ballroom Dance
Document Summary
Today in dance we learned a floor routine that required us to focus on breathing and keeping our body weight grounded. Getting up all depended on pulling your weight inwards and then pushing up with your center. We practiced goalie shoot-outs in which a field player has 8 seconds to play. 1v1 with only a goalie and score a goal. I was standing in for the goalie (without goalie pads i might add) and playing defense on each player. Out of 27 shoot-out attempts, my body and reaction times were quick enough to stop all but 6 balls from going in the goal. This was an incredible (nearly impossible) statistic to achieve. I also felt like i was running up and down the field differently today but i felt faster somehow. I think i was moving from my pelvis/quads, rather than my shoulders/head where i normally run from.
