Jannine Saarinen (choreographer)
Jennifer Hum (Jen-Yi Hum), Alex Bascynskyj (interpreters)
Beginning
Came with a finished piece that was non-character-based
Goal was to continue learning about non-character–based choreography
Challenges
To choreograph with abstract movement
To go right back to roots of impulse to determine action/movement
To find inspiration and interest in the simplicity in order to build more
To trust the interpreter to collaborate and help develop the root explorations
To persevere
Development/skills
To see details in a simple action
To build sophisticated action from core sensory-based movement
To evaluate and choose material that has potential for development
To develop with the interpreter a shared understanding of the process and the material
To know when to change directions in the process
