I love the main photo on your BLOG. It really caught my eye & thought wow, I bet that guy does some interested work. I took a look at your Flickr photos & I was right - I love the "Expressions" Idea for streetdance for kids. Great stuff. I'm going to read more now, but just thought I'd say Hi and 10/10 for Impact! :-)
hi liam iv enjoyed reading about your passion, it was a way of showing the work that you do, without just stating it line after line as credits, it showed you really enjoy what you do and made it very enjoyable for me to read, i would like to hear more about the types of classes you teach (or even where you teach as i think your quite local to me) as expresive dance and expanding on emotions is not something i have done a lot of and so would be interested to learn more. also enjoyed haveing a glance through you photos as it shows a lot of different styles and the range of work that you do. well done :)
Yes - these visual images really show the range of what you do - I like the small image format for quick reference and the brief comments to guide the viewer.
I teach at Sunshine Studios Manchester and Bolton. My class at manchester is a street dance class from 6 - 7 on a Thursday and in Bolton I teach on a Monday 7:30 - 8:30, which is a contemporary class :)
So, my passion is to create pieces of choreography/art that people can either relate to, or to make them understand my feelings or thoughts of an experience I have been through. I find choreography a good way to let out how I feel. Whether I find a song that I can relate to and create specific movements, that make sense to how I feel. Or it could be that I’m just in a good mood and want to find a song that matches that, and choreograph to it. As teaching is my main job to support me financially, along with some commercial work, I teach many classes per week, which means I have to do lots of choreography. I think this sometimes restricts my creativity as I sometimes really want to take my time on a piece of choreography, so that I fully get across how I feel and push my creativity to the maximum. Before I start teaching my choreography I usually explain to the people in my class, a little bit of what was going through my mind before I begin to teach anything. I never usual
Here I teamed up with member s of my SIG to see how we could develop my questions, so that I had a more thorough investigation. 1) In what order do I label my professions? Do I label it in order, starting with the profession I believe I am highest in or do I label it to benefit the job I am applying for? When we discussed this question a good colleague and friend of mine, Jon Broni raised the idea that I ask them 2 simple questions: How would YOU label my profession? E.g. Teacher/Dancer/Choreographer Why? I felt this was a very good question to ask because here I will find out other peoples perspective of my practice, which will help when promoting and selling myself. Also, by asking people” why?” I will then get given a reason, which should answer the question “How do I label my profession?” This way I can calculate how people label professions. I was also thinking of asking another question along with this being “Would I label my profession different
