i dont know

I don't really know what to write about today, i kind of have writers block. I can't really think of any ideas for anything. I tried starting my rough draft last night and all I could come up with is a few ideas. I'm having an artistic block all together! I can't really think of choreography for dance either. Usually when I cant think of choreography If i just listen to the same song over and over and each time listen to a different part of the song the whole time. Like one time I might listen to the piano, and another time I might listen to the bass line, and another time I might listen to the vocals. Then when I listen to it all together I can hear each part together and it is easier to do choreo. It also really helps to look up the meaning of the songs. But just because the song is talking about breaking up between a boy in a girl doesn't mean your choreography has to be about that. It can be about a person who is being taken away from any number of things that they love, family, friends, etc.

I think it is really interesting how different people come up with choreography and ideas for dances. One friend of mine watches cartoons and gets all of her ideas from that. Another friend goes to the book store and looks at all the different book covers to get an idea. She doesn't read them, she just goes off of what she sees from the cover. I don't really have any special things like that, i just listen to music until i find something I like. Or i could be walking around outside and see something that interests me and start a dance based off of that. A few years ago my dance teacher was outside with her kids in playing in leaves when she got the idea to do a dance about falling leaves.

I love that i started out not knowing what to write about and it turned into talking about dance and choreography, big surprise. All i talk about on here is dance...and coffee!
