7. my three suns



I've been reflecting on scores, rules, frameworks and tasks within choreographic practice. Two of the below illustrations are from my own work, one is a work I experienced as a performer.

I decided I would both deliver the session as a trial of taking experiential learning as form and guide, but also trying to teach and articulate some of the areas where I feel I have significant learning - but that I wouldn’t normally incorporate into my teaching practice (especially with pre-professionals.)

However, this becomes complicated as I’m engaging with theory around reflective learning which now I see relates both to what I’ve learned and also how I’ve learned it.
