After class was a rehearsal for Gaspar – A Pirate Fantasy, in which they were rehearsing the Water Lilly section. A new piece to be choreographed on Nanako Yamamoto, a young, very talented professional dancer. Originally from Japan, Nanako trained in England but now works for New Tampa Dance Theatre, where Christopher Fleming noticed her talent.
Christopher Fleming currently has a blog, Adventures of a Traveling Ballet Master, talking about his work and and his travels, spanning from Japan to America and more.
I very much enjoyed the class with Christopher Fleming, he has opened my eyes to a new technique which I had not seen before and his observations were always constructive. This new technique has given me confidence to experiment with dance and alter certain aspect to see the outcome. I am looking forward to my next class with him.
Thanks for this Jacob - really liked the link to the professional blog because it showed clearly the use of these technologies to current practitioners (that is the the people who are dance/performance/arts professionals). I hope others in our network visit and comment.
