Rehearsal no 2: 20th October

 In todays rehearsals we explored the words "hope and joy" by using movement to spell out the words. 

I gave my dancers their emotion; Amy was "hope" and Chloe was "joy" 

I then showed them a picture of a person with the alphabet around their body and they had to spell out their word using different body parts. 

They then added in choreographic devices such as repetition, retrograde, accumulation, levels and dynamics to create a short motif. 

I filmed these and will add them into the choreography in the part of "choosing hope and finding joy" section of the dance.

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 t...

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 p...
