This week really changed for me because of last weeks class. After taking the assessments, taking our weight, waist, hip, and chest measurements, it was a "cue to action" that I needed to overhaul on what I was doing. The past couple of weeks I have been very stressed and frustrated, especially in my dance group. I felt very disrespected and frustrated because a couple other dancers would use my style, which is fine, but then they would take many parts of my choreography I did in my piece last semester, and put it in their own numbers. The directors have been asking me to choreograph the closing number for the show, and its been a lot of pressure to come up with amazing choreography to meet everyone's expectations, in addition to the fact that my style has been used over and over again already. So I just went into the dance room, and I just choreographed a ton of angry choreography which is still my style but different, and i am actually really proud of myself for many reasons.
1. I did not give up
2. I did not take my frustrations out on getting yogurt and venting with my friends
3. I got my frustration out with dance
4. I came up with new choreography that I am proud of
5. My choreography is different
I can't wait until I cast this piece because the I can say, here you go, because you're not going to be original or creative enough as a choreographer so I did it for you so you can steal it and call it your own next semester.
Good news is that I haven't had yogurt in over a week! even when circus animal cookie was one of the flavors at 21 choices. Still, I check the website every single day to see what the flavors are:
