which was fun to work with. We plan to explore more when it comes to the stages of grief because we do feel as though we skipped out on the beggining stage where there is more of a struggle. Rebecca and I were intending to bring out the more positive side of grief where you are remember the good times together you shared and even though it may be hard you push through and continue to move on. We pictured an old man sitting in him and his wife's favorite old diner after she has passed and hearing their song come on and remembering her and the feeling of joy she gave him. We were attempting to explore the positivity and bliss that grief and eventually bring us. The necessary emotion is usually perceived as negative, but after exploring this through movement we agreed that this is a much more complex feeling than even we knew. This piece could have been explored for many more weeks and we hope in the future we will be able to explore further in order to make and even more cohesive and well rounded work that truly goes encompass all these strong and complex feelings. One thing that I loved that we did was we took 3 different combinations and twisted them in so many ways that they were able to be performed essentially over and over again for four minutes straight but it never got boring. It was really interesting to explore each combination on another level or by reversing or retrograding it. These are all choreographic elements that I was exploring for the first time. All of the elements we explored I think are very important when it comes to any choreography and I will take what I have learned an apply that in other situations now that I have learned from this experience. If I were to change one thing about our process it would be to think less about a concept and let choreography come prior to having a set theme. I find it much more interesting to explore first and label second. I learned a  lot during this experience that not every step needs to mean something or have some huge purpose. Some movement can just be and have no set purpose at all. I would like to explore more on how the audience can interpret movement oppose to bing told what a piece might about about straight off the bat. It is much more intriguing in my opinion when there is room for a multitude of eyes seeing the same thing in all different ways. For the future I will take into consideration that not every piece should have a set title or meaning and even structure. I can't wait to dive more into movement that means nothing and it can just be what it is with no set feeling or message it should be giving an audience. I know that as I grow as a choreographer this will come as I gain more experience but as of now what I have learned is that it can be very beneficial to play. Future composition studies will hopefully reflect the progress I feel I ave made through this process. Rebecca and I both learned a lot about the co choreographic process and all the difficulties that come along with agreeing on the way a step looks all the way to where our focus should be directed. I believe that this  was an experience I needed to have in order to learn more about myself and how I best work with others. I hope to continue my exploration when it comes to duet work in more of a playful way when we have less of a time constraint.
