Similar concept

In the past two weeks, we have gone over many varieties of techniques from different companies.  In the past two weeks we have been working on spiraling of the upper body and contractions.  The contractions are from Martha Graham technique and the spiraling of the torso is from Paul Taylor.  I realize that many of these different techniques can be applied to any type of movement.  I find it interesting when I use contractions in my own work.  I'm not sure what these two technical variations are similar to in any other dance but it can definitely be applied in any choreography and would be quite interesting.

I enjoy doing Taylor and Graham technique.  I feel that it challenges the modern genre of dance.
