[Callers] Re: Putting a call out to those dance composers out there... triplet play?

Hi Folks :) I have what I think is a fun ask/challenge for a few of you.... I'm wondering if you might be up for a triplet composition brainstorm? Here's the situation.... One of the series that I call is to a very novice group of dancers - there are VERY few contra dancers in the mix. I do a lot of squares, scatters, the occasional very simple contra, and mix in other formations. Triplets work really well for this group. I came across the dance below a while back and I love love love the A part. Super simple but quite enjoyable. When I've workshopped it at home though, the B part is fairly tricky to get the actives to move up to the very top to get to that cast off. (It should work but I've workshopped it with a few other callers+ experienced dancers and doesn't seem intuitive/easy) So... I was wondering if anyone might enjoy the challenge of coming up with a fun second part to create a new dance? I thought I'd throw it out there into the universe as I know some of you are dance composers and enjoy taking aspects of a particular dance and playing with it. Nooooo pressure - just a fun exploration for those who might enjoy. :) Emily in Ottawa ==================== Anne's Dream by Katy Heine Triplet (can be danced no role if one wants) A1: Top 4 circle L all the way. Balance. 2s arch & 1s thru. A2: Bottom 4 circle L all the way. Balance. 3s arch & 1s thru. B1: Couple 1 strips the willow back up to the top (I've played with this a bit in terms of how many times around etc... it never seems to settle in) B2: 1s cross and cast to bottom. All step up and 2H turn or swing. _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
