Embodiment

Last week I had a chance to watch a performance that teaching artist Jee Yun Hong and my classmates Jun Zhang perform together under unperparation.  From there,  I found that musicians must have an ability that response quickly from music.  And How do they make a conversation via the music and dance.  I think that's the part of the embodiment.

Here I also found something from Youtube.  This video also present this violinist make a response with some other one's shadows.

HAIKU

This week I got a homework that try to write some poems or write a haiku for our class.  Actually I didn't even know what's a haiku.  So I searched some haikus on the internet.  Today I try to write a haiku.  This is my first haiku for my new life in NYU.  If it's not good,  please forgive me.  :)

                                                        New Life

                                                   Autumn is here again,
                                                   Rain is playing sweetly with breeze
                                                   And life is renewed.

                                                   

Expanded Music and Its Impact on Teaching (My favorite media)

This is my first assignment in this class Expanded Music.   The name of this video is Lady Buddha With Thousand Hands.

As I said on the class,  this one is performed by the dancers who are the deaf. They cannot hear anything.  They must have a conductor to let them do every action together.  I like this show not only for these dancers , but also for the music.  The music comes from the old chinese music just add some modern element there.  It gives me the feeling of freshness and let me memory some old chinese scenes and stories.
