I was rehearsing with Kai. Kai was the base for most lifts, as he was taller than me making it more convenient. I lift him also, however one attempt failed, I couldnt take his weight and collapsed underneath him. This was because he was to stiff and not soft, I also leaned to far forward and wasnt a strong and stable enough base. I attempted the lift again, remembering to lower my core below his, stay strong as a base and not rush the lift.
When choreographing the performance we often had a hard time remembering lifts, We had a small selection of lifts to access and thus struggled to make the piece feel fresh, varied and engaging. To prevent this we should do our own research outside of lessons learning how to perform different lifts, this will also differentiate our piece from the rest of the class because it includes unique lifts.
