Had a great day with the dancers, the two movement phrases I taught them yesterday has already settled into their bodies and today they learnt the two new phrases much faster. So with an hour left I finished the rehearsal with a pretty straight forward task, just an idea, which they could choreograph themselves. My intention was to manipulate and elaborate on their movement phrases after I’d had a look at each of them, but I liked them all so much that I had to leave them as they were.
Most of these dancers are quite young, some are still in high school, so I was prepared to take them through my improve process nice and slowly, but it turns out they do quite a lot of improve here, so there will be no holding back tomorrow, I’ll try something I've been umming about and see what I find out…they seem to be up for it.

Miss Chou joined us for an awesome meal at a restaurant just down the road from the hotel tonight. Absolutely delicious! I had forgotten how silky tofu can taste when it doesn’t come out of a Coles seal tight bag!!! And the mushrooms…………
The street is full of restaurants, so tomorrow night we move next door.
