For my first rehearsal I explained my idea to my dancers and showed them the music which I have chosen.
I them set them a creative task which looked at emotions and feelings through movement.
I called out 5 different negitive feelings which people have experienced this year due to all the current events which have happened. They picked a movement or phrase which they personally connected with the word, we discussed why they chose it and how it made them feel.
These words were;
Isolated
Loss
Fear
Anger
Pained
Once they chose their movement they worked together creating a motif socially distanced using counteraction which we looked at last week.
Next we looked at the positive feelings and emotions
These words were:
Hope
Community
Supported
Happiness
Free
Joy
They then did the same and created a motif together using each others movement and counteraction presenting these emotions with movement.
Later in the process of creating, we will come back to this material and develop it and explore how we can put it into the piece to represent my topic.
