Virtual Rehearsal with Yin Yue
FoCo Technique is the active engagement of five elements and three rhythmic stages through three training segments in the dancer’s approach to movement and performance.
The five elements are root/ground, wood/axis, water/surrounding, metal/tension and fire/kinesphere. Each element applies to the quality of movement and its corresponding physical awareness when applicable. It is the training in FoCo Technique that drives the dancer to masterfully integrate all elements, resulting in finessed texture and well-rounded movement quality.
The three rhythmic stages are pulse, drop and flow. Each rhythmic stage is explored through choreographic dynamics and translated into the body’s physical and emotional expression. During the training of FoCo Technique, dancers are expected to proficiently embody and convey time and meter in their movements, as well as steadily change its tempo in an efficient manner. In all, FoCo Technique trains dancers to approach movement with masterful grasp of textural and dynamic quality.
The three training segments are Triggering, Rooting, Mapping. Through a follow-along continuous sequence, dancers will re-define contraction, gravity, clarity and precision of the movement and develop a heightened sense of awareness.
The FoCo class requires sophisticated understanding of dance technique and demands strong physical and mental stamina. The class is 90 min and it starts with an active follow-along sequence including Triggering, Rooting and Mapping. In each of these sections, students are led by the instructor to create awareness in muscular structure in order to achieve precision and control, identify and embody rhythmic pattern and dynamic change, develop strong interaction with gravity and generate heat in the body to prepare for the phrase work. In the second part of the class a specific phrase work will be created and taught in details. Through learning the movement, students will experience the coaching style and learn the quality of the movement. By the end of each class, the phrase work will be performed in smaller groups. It is your time to fully embody the combination, apply the instructions and enjoy the dance.
Virtual rehearsal
In response to the continued spread of COVID-19, YYDC wishes to stay connected with members of our global dance community who may be in isolation and practicing “social distancing” to combat the spread of the virus. Join the company on instagram IGTV where I will choreograph and teach the movement for a solo dance that we can all learn together as a community. Once we have completed the solo together, please feel free to record your performance and share on your social media and tag @yydcinc and @theyinyue, so we can see and share your work with our community. I hope this on going project will play a small part in fostering the connectedness and engagement that we all need at this time. This 90 min session serves as a rehearsal platform to dive into the details of the work and explore new choreographic ideas virtually.
