My reflection this week takes the form of an interpretive dance, though not performed by me. I have actually been instructed in the art of traditional Bavarian Schuhplattler dancing, which will serve me well at Oktoberfest, I´m sure. At any rate, I should work harder to incorporate this into our next composition.
Found some Ostrock to share with Michael, it`s pretty awesome. Himmelblauer Trabant is my new favorite song. For serious.
I really don`t remember much of what happened yesterday as I was running on about four hours of sleep and about as many cups of coffee, so I was just thankful to survive. I know I enjoyed doing our composition, even if it wasn`t received as intended, and I think that was the take home message for me-that the audience will take something else away from what we do than what we originally intend and that is something we need to consider when we are composing. I guess my only other bit of 0,02€ (that`s 2 cents..) is that some clarity and uniformity in directions given to students by instructors prior to an assignment being handed in. There were some directions that were tacked on yesterday five minutes before we performed that none of us had been apprised of the week before, and I believe we were docked points for that. In the future, it would be nice for assignments to be given in an organized fashion, such that directions and expectations are made explicit to all students at the same time, and not passed down the grapevine, as it were, as this leads to confusion.
And now, as promised, Schuhplattler.
Other than that, los geht`s!
Why are we still on this side of the Atlantic?
