An Exploration of Hamlet



At our March 16 jam session, we were in the beautiful, light-filled Panetta Movement Studios.  An open improvisation evoked a scene from Hamlet so we chose to focus our composition work for the day on the scene where Hamlet kills Polonius.  This was a relatively new way of working for us - to approach a composition with concrete characters and story-line but we found there was so much to explore there.  We were able to go through the scene once and then repeat with adjustments.  Hopefully, with our upcoming three-hour jam sessions, the extra hour will allow for in-depth lab work.  Here is a series of photos, taken by Roberta Berman, from this composition.
