(Level: All) Building upon the idea of the follower modifying the leader’s movements in the Echoing exercise, here will go a bit further. In Contrasting, we will aim to be the opposite of our partner. For example, if one person decides to do fast movement, the other does slow movement; if one is doing sharp, precise movements, the other will do softer movements. This is sure to challenge both partners, and help to create a lot of new movement ideas. The student, Katie, pointed out that contrasting emotions could be something to play with, which is something I would never have come up with on my own! See what ideas both you and your partner have!
