My Idea for my choreography

 For this years choreography, I will be exploring the idea of "choose hope and find joy'. 

This is something that is necessary this year due to all the current event which everyone has experienced in 2020. 

Everyone wanted 2020 to be "their year", being more ambitious, making memories with friends and families, enjoying holidays, festivals, concerts and setting new goals. However, this couldn't be further from what we have all experienced in the last 10 months. Living through a global pandemic has brought fear, pain, loss isolation and major financial problems. We have also seen destructive wildfires at the bringing of the year in Australia, killing thousands of habitats and animals and destroying peoples homes. There has also been the Beirut Explosion leaving people homeless and injuring thousands. The death of George Flyod and the Back Live Matter shocked everyone around the world causing people to stand up and vocally speak about the racial issues that black people experience each day. 

These are just a few things that have been in our news this year and many people are feeling many different emotions towards everything that is going on. 

I will be exploring this in my choreography, however, I want to be focussing on the positive aspects which have come out of these devastating situations as there is always something good that comes out of something bad. By choosing hope you can find joy.  This is seen in any different ways as community comes together. Here are just a few examples of how people have shown hope and found joy in these difficult times; 

Captain Tom raising money for the NHS by walk in his garden for his 100th birthday and raised £32 million

Every Tuesday we as a national stood outside our front doors and clapped out key workers and NHS staff as they fought this virus and saved lives 

Love You Neighbour is a emergency service sending out thousand of food packages to people who have been stuck in their homes and not able to get the basic needs for theirselves or family or families who can't afford food due to job loss etc 

Families and communities have come together creating unity and a support to each other in these difficult times 

5k run to raise money for the NHS which was a trend during the height of lockdown 

Raising awareness on social media for Black lives matter by posting a black screen on instagram and donating money to BLM

Using social media to send money to Australia for the wildfire and protecting the animal rescue and rehabilitation centres

Rehearsal no. 3: 6th November

 In todays rehearsal we spent time working on the beginning of the dance.  I firstly taught them both some of my material for them to perform on diagonal facing each other. This phrase is to reflect the different events which have occurred this year such as the fires and covid19.  Once I taught them this we then went back to the begining and they came up with 5 movements to suggest negative emotions and feelings. I set this to the music adding in their motif which they created a couple of weeks ago using the idea of counterpoint.  I then gave them a sheet of paper to draw out their pathway as they enter on the stage using the shapes and lines of 2020 as inspiration. With moments where they cross we added in a movement such as hands over mouth to symbolise masks and 2 metres apart.  To finish we filmed it with the music.  Next rehearsal I am going to teach them some material in middle and the end and then combine it all.  Heres video we have so far of the material.  https://youtu.be/as1
