THROW BACK

Review of Jodie's choreography from Aspects of Love

PREPARATION

An update on Chrysalis: 

From my last post we had another week of training, finishing a piece to track called Galvanise! It has been an amazing process watching Jodie create this piece and be part of it. One of the many pieces we will be performing at the launch. It's edgy, complicated, intricate and overwhelming creation. I believe it will make the audience sit on the edge of their seats and not exhale a breathe till the piece ends. Captivating to watch and made me fully appreciate the talent I get to train and perform with most days. Although training can get hard physically and mentally, tiring and not to mention a choreography overload I love to learn and train with the Chrysalis company. Having trust in a piece and the choreography is a great feeling. 

While the company went off to Leeds for 3 weeks, performing in Aspects of Love, there was time to reflect on what I needed to work on and practice so I was ready to get back in the studio after their return. 

CHOOSE LIFE

CHOOSE LIFE was a piece of choreography we performed for Jodie back when I was in college during my second year. 

Based on the film Trainspotting. It was an incredible piece depicting the story and recreating certain aspects of the film, such as the drug issues. 

I loved performing this piece, I think Jodie created something immense and completely new. When I think about what companies are creating in the industry at this point, it makes me fully trust that the launch of Chrysalis London will be a complete surprise! 

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
