The reason I have decided to write about focus and projection for this class is because Robert spent a lot of time showing the class where their focus should be on certain movements throughout the exercises. The line of focus which Robert was setting was to improve the line of extension through their bodies. As shown in the first picture the head pulling away from the arms, which are in a diagonal position, prove aesthetically pleasing due to the enhancement of the pull through the body. I could see that the class were focusing on the places that Robert wanted them to embody, however I felt they were looking but not really connecting with the space in their focus. Within Franklin’s writing he speaks about my experience of this; “focus is crucial. Your focus needs to have vibrant energy, not a droopy gaze” (Franklin, 2014, 278).
