Yesterday, a student asked me, "How can I fix my choreography?"
"Why do you ask it?"
"Because I cannnot develope my peice from a improvisation to fixed choreography."
Then now I will guide the process to create a fixed choreography, and grow up it. throuhg real time resonance.
1. Repeat it many times until it sinks down into your body.
When you find a novel sequence in your self reserch or improvisaton, repeat the part many times until your body remeber it with keeping real qualia stream.
2. Keep the real qualia stream
Each subbody movement has each own specific qualia stream. You need to keep whole qualia stream of the sequence. Remember the whole process when the novel sequence came out. From your conditioning process to the reseaching and creation process, print all of them in your body.
3. Find the best timing for the movement.
Every movement has its own best timing. Until you get the best timing for it, continue "Try and reduce. Cut and polish".
This process is the same as sculptor. Sculptor completes a static shape through cut and polish. Choreographer completes a moving shape through the same trials.
When you find the best timing of it, it is very clear, because suddenly it turns to the beauty, and you can imprint it in your body with surprising. You become to able to repeat it with pleasure from your bottom.
4. Fix it with the best Jo-Ha-Kyu.
Normaly, a subbody movement seems miserable and ugry. It doedn't looks so-called beautiful. But, when it gets the best Jo-Ha-Kyu, it crystalizes into the beauty. This is the magic of Jo-Ha-Kyu.
Any ugry movements have a potential to be the beauty. Find the best position in the total Jo-Ha-Kyu of your peice.
5. Grow the peice with many times repeating.
A choreography is not completed in a short time. Whne you get a fixed Jo-ha-Kyu, repeat the peice many times in the various conditions. All repeatings is the re-creation. Whenever you repeat it, it grows up with a real time resonance.
6. Real time resonance between choreography and improvisation
Through these repeating process, you can integrate the choreography and improvisation. In each trial of your fixed choreography at different place and time, every time you can renew it including partial improvisation. It is real time resonance. Slowly your subbody peice will grow up, and it becomes your friend.
