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.

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...
