"a bird in the hand........two in the bush"
A Modern & Contemporary Dance CD by
UK Artist, Composer
Paul Pavey
16 pieces for Modern and Contemporary Dance Classes.
" a bird in the hand.... two in the bush"
is designed for contemporary and modern class exercises. With diverse
instrumentation and varied time signatures.
It is designed to be functional in the class (and a little bit of fun). Some pieces have a world music flavor, while others are more avant-guarde in their style and approach.
The
CD has tracks that are suitable for warm-up, center, moving across space,
jumps and cool down.
Over the past years Paul Pavey has developed a practical musicality and voice class for dancers. He has worked on discovering and exploring the internal rhythm of ones body through breathe, vocalising and movement and believes experiencing music from within the body is the quintessential driving force behind movement. A dancer should become 'as one' with their natural elements and influences as too often music remains in the head leaving a dancer moving merely parallel to the rhythm or melody. |
Each of these compositions has has it's
own unique flavor, so many demos are listed.
