Monday's child is fair of face

Tuesday's child is full of grace

 

Create: Produce something that focuses on movement. It could feature for example a dance, a fight (a duel, or perhaps the vast armies advancing across the plains, weather (the strike of lightning, the gentle roll of clouds), time (too fast, too slow). Perhaps the movement is organic or mechanical, aesthetic or utilitarian, sweeping or barely noticeable.

 

Squee: Tell us about a movement that takes your breath away, or even better, share a video of it. A dance performance, nature video, athletic feat... The kind of thing you never tire watching.

Squee about Matthew Bourne's New Adventures: Tuesday

[kat_lair]

Oooh, goes to see...

[pensnest]

New Adventures - that's the name I was looking for! *scurries to see*

[turps]

I've posted two favourite movement videos right here.

[kat_lair]

Fantastic, thank you for playing!

I'm fulfilling today's prompt in a sliiightly weird way: a WIP meta post about writing (lightsaber) fencing. I document a Mastodon thread where I asked fencers on the fediverse what/how do they think when they fight, I'll add some "things learned" summary, and then I want to try using the info for some actual writing.

It's not what I expected to do for today, but you know what, I like it!

[kat_lair]

I think this is a wonderful fill for today's prompt. And I always endorse research!

[kat_lair]

Awesome, will definitely check out, thank you for sharing!

[ironymaiden]

squee about the magic murder man

[kat_lair]

Well this is intriguing... Thank you for playing!

[athenejen]

A post! About a fan-made video of an anime character (Kuroo Tetsurou from Haikyu!!) dancing to "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo and also a link to the choreography that inspired it. Probably doesn't exactly qualify as "breathtaking," but I have spent enough time mesmerized by it that it seemed worth sharing.

[kat_lair]

Mesmerising absolutely counts towards this challenge! Thank you for joining in and sharing! I shall go and check it out :)

[athenejen]

Yay! You're welcome, and thanks so much for running this challenge! I've been wanting to get back into posting again, but somehow it always seems so daunting after having not been posting for a while. This format was perfect for getting back into it. <3

[kat_lair]

Aww, you are welcome! pushkin666, dreamersdare and I were all bemoaning the need to kick start something creative/squeeful, we're just glad other people are also enjoying the prompts :) And it's always lovely to see posts from you on my flist!

further enticement

[athenejen]

Note: the original choreography is features a very attractive man in casual athletic wear and spike heels demonstrating the choreo for a dance class. The juxtaposition of the clothes and footwear is... pleasing.

[margaret_r]

I've gone with Lord Byron and Marianne Faithful today.

[kat_lair]

Oh how lovely, thank you for sharing :)

[pensnest]

Mine is here.

[kat_lair]

hurray, thank you for joining in!

[dreamersdare]

Ta-da!

(You will be shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover what movement I have squeed about...)

[kat_lair]

I didn't even have to look at the entry to know exactly what you posted about. :D

[dreamersdare]

Eh, you live in my brain at times, this is not news

:D
