Frustration

We have been rehearsing and I feel like we are moving forward in some aspects and at a standstill in others. The choreography at the end is coming along nicely and the dancers are getting it. That is where they are comfortable. However, the first few sections are giving me a headache. We are working with improvisation and it is difficult. I am trying to get the dancers to move out of their comfort zones and push themselves and it is proving to be a challenge. I am trying to get them to understand that it is ok to be still. You don't always have to look like a dancer. Be pedestrian. I never thought it would be hard to get a person to act like a person. Guess what it is! I am a perfectionist so I am sure I am being hard on myself. I am waiting to get goosebumps and when I do...SUCCESS!
