staccato is where we go next. We bring all we have found in the flow with us, into the land of the beat. We focus on the beat of the music, and allow that to begin to shape our movements.We find our way into something more percussive and clear, with lines replacing curves, starts and stops in place of continous movement.
The hips are key to staccato: we still follow our feet, but the hips lead the way with the beat. We seek to release the fire inside, our passionate selves, into the dance. Our body becomes a container for the energy we build on the inside, we give expression to ourselves through a thousand shapes.
Music for staccato is anything with a clear beat. Particular favourites of mine include The Beatles' Come Together, Nick Cave's Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, or Bjork's Human Behaviour.
