Winterguard and Movement

This weekend I was excited that we practiced outside because I was able to have my GPS device in my pocket during one of the run throughs of our show.

Our show is titled "Sleep" by Eric Whitacre. The show is written by Ben Wilkinson and co-written by Jaime Roman.

I took a screen shot of the path on Google Earth, took a picture of the screen of my GPS Device, and also drew my own path using my Bamboo pad in photoshop using my memory of where I go during the show.

Each image turned out to look pretty differently. If I had another opportunity to re-trace my path in the show with my GPS device, I would probably change the frequency of how often it makes a point to every second instead of every 5 seconds to get a more accurate path.


We also did our movement portion of practice on the beach. We practice "across the floors" which are doing different dance moves while traveling across the floor. We got a picture of the pathway in the sand after doing our across the floors and came up with this:
