Thoughts and Ideas 11/20
CONVERSATION Starter
The Pivot. Best laid plans. Sometimes the need to pivot comes from a small immediate crisis, the internet is down. Other times you've spent hours to years of energy setting up a situation, a new career, a performance, and suddenly the world shifts and that plan is immediately unavailable, or long-term unavailable. Discuss methods of dealing with both the immediate emotion and physical reality of the need to pivot.
Creative Experiment
Create a thirty two count movement phrase with specific, obvious givens: front, music, space, surface. Ask a peer to watch and assist by changing the givens with notice, and without notice. Your job is to pivot with the changes. Discuss responses.
