Movement Session Response Parer

1.Describe the movement session that you remember the most clearly or that challenged you the most. What style of dance was it? What specific movements or movement qualities indicated that it was this style? What made it memorable or challenging?
In my heart, the most clear thing in the movement session is the Cunningham movement session. It is one of the modern dances. The style of this kind of dance is that it is an abstract dance. The skill of the choreography is very special. Mercer  Cunningham prefers to pure action in the dance, so the choreography of the dance is different from traditional dance. He lists the movements’ order by throwing coins. The movements in his dance without any emotion. He only tends to use the dance itself to express things. 
The qualities in this type of dance are numerous, such as it is unbending, positive, productive and so on. At the same time, the special movement in Cunningham movement session is turning over the body and keeping the balance of the body. Turning is the main skill of movement in this kind of dance. The waist is the axle in this movement, the body turning over with the level leaned. This special movement through out the whole dance. 
It is challenging because the teacher did not teach us how to grasp the essence of the skill of each movement, we had to think over every movement and try to do it wonderful by ourselves.
2.How was this dance style, in your answer to question 1, like any of the other dance styles we experienced in this class? How was it different? (Choose just one other dance style to compare to your answer in question 1.)
The dance style of this dance is different from the other dance styles we experienced in this class. Foe example, it is different from the jazz dance. Jazz dance is American modern dance. It is rich of innervation and with the fast rhythm. The jazz dance tends to express the emotion with the jazz music and get the new skills from other dances. 
On the contrary, the Cunningham movement dance express the emotion only by the movements in the dance.
3.Based on your reading of chapter 5, the online assignment about the second generation men, in class experiences, and any other knowledge or preconceptions you had, what did you expect to do in a modern dance movement session? What surprised you in this movement session?
After reading the chapter 5, I have known a lot of things about the modern dance, There are so many kinds of modern dances, such as jazz dance, folk dance and ballroom dance. I expect I can learn more types or movements about the modern dance in a modern dance movement session such as rock and roll, the twist, and especially the break dance. And I can learn the specific skills of the movements, such as turning the body, swinging，and weight shift. And it is better that dance teacher can give us the video of the dance which we should to learn so that we can standardize our actions and improve the quality and level of dance.  
In this movement session, it surprised me that we can change the movement by ourselves, and we can dance with our classmates in the group. This gives us an opportunity to connect with our classmates, thus it enhances the relationship among the classmates. We can not only learn the new dance but also make friends with others.
4.What part of our session with the Thinc Week guest artist Aleta Hayes was the most memorable for you? Why did that particular movement experience strike you or stay with you?
One part of our session with the Th-inc week guest artist Aleta Itayes was the most memorable for me. That is Cunningham movement session. In this part, I got much happiness, At the beginning, Aleta Itayes let us stand as a circle to do the warming up movement with our hands by hands and moving our bodies. Then we should call our name and pose a proper movement at the same time by order. Next, we were divided in to four groups, which contain a person as the leader When the music is coming, another three people move their bodies as the leader’ gesture. Everyone has the chance to be the leader.
I think this part is very meaningful and interesting. We all can learn the new movement from others. And there is the chance for everyone to express own movements. 
5.Using the dance style you discussed in question 1, how is that like any dance forms you practice or see today? How might training in that particular dance style help you in your own life?
The Cunningham movement session is different from the dance forms as I practice today. For example, the classical dance is the traditional dance, the movements in the classical dance can not be easily changed. But the movements in the Cunningham movement session is very optional, we can easily adjust the movement or move as we like. In this way, we can create more interesting movements.
I have learned a lot from the Cunningham movement session. It made my body fit and more confident about my life. On the one hand, after I trained the Cunningham movement session, I have grasp many skills about the modern dance. My body is so comfortable after I learned it. It enhances the ability to balance the body by myself.
On the other hand, I can relax myself from it. When I am upset, I usually prefer to dance to take away the bad moon. It makes me more confident about myself. All in all, it gives me the positive power both in physical and the metal. I like this session, and I want to learn more things from the next session. I believe I can do it.
