Ten Triplets

On Wednesday, September 14, 2016, I had Graham class with Ms. Christine Dakin. Toward the end of class, she created a phrase for us to take across the floor. It was a triplet (in three quarter time/ meter). The complete phrase filled ten measures, which wasn't typical for the students in the class. I was excited about the irregularity of the timing, so I quickly applied the musicality of the movement to the timing and meter of the phrasing. It was very appealing to me. I felt how the phrasing of the music with the dance was continuous and inevitable. This helped me create smooth transitions when repeating the phrase. It was very satisfying to dance!
