Am I at the finish line?!

Here it comes that I am at my last year student of bachelor dance program in Coventry University.
To be honest it is the fourth week of my studies since I am back from ERASMUS and summer break. So far it has been pretty busy and it looks that it will get even more busy at the end of this term.
However, I am hopping in and challenging myself to do the best I can do in this crazy carousel :)
First term of this year I will be doing different classes that form one Movement Studies 3 module:

  • Skinner Releasing Technique;
  • Improvisation/Instant Composition;
  • Released Based Contemporary;
  • Yoga;
  • Experimental Anatomy/ Seminar;
  • Feldenkrais.
In relation to this module I will be posting my reflections upon my discoveries, explorations and experiences in these classes.
In addition to this I will be busy writing my dissertation and preparing my final project as well as exploring dance film boundaries and possibilities in: Final Project and Dissertation, and Dance and Moving Image classes.
And finally, in some spare time I will be madly practicing yoga and joining Ervin's yoga classes in order to:

  • cope with 'final year stress' syndrome;
  • stay fit;
  • finish Yoga Teacher Training.
There will be times when I will post more happy and enthusiastic posts about my journey. And I will try to keep them this way every time, but also I assume there could be some 'bad day' entries too. So, I rely on mercy of Universe to stay honest and presently conscious about my development as a thinker, explorer and discoverer in the field of performance art.

Imagery in SRT

In Skinner Releasing Techniques' literature is defined what is imagery and its usage in movement training.
However, these days I was looking for my own understanding of imagery in SRT. At the moment I am in the fight of diversity somewhere between:
  • imagery as starting point where imagery is a "springboard";
  • imagery as tool of work;
  • imagery as a way of work.
And there is a question for you - what is your understanding of imagery and its application in SRT?

By the way, here is link to article about this topic: http://skinnerreleasing.com/articles/imageryarticle.html
