Continuation of Choreography

 One section we have worked on in-depth recently is the section after Emma's solo, so Emma choreographed a lot of this section however when we put the movements to music we had a small section left to choreograph, so we discussed some ideas and realised there were some significant movements that we could relate back to from the opening section. There is a movement that we do in an accumulative Canon in the first section that we wanted to almost represent a "bull charging" except we are the ones getting ready to charge at Emma in the bottom corner, the video of this is linked in my previous blog. So in this phrase, we have been working on, we reprise that movement in the same corner. However, we look back to the corner in which Emma was "trapped in" and then face away and repeat the movement in a much softer, and hunched-over position slowly lowering to the floor, trying to "hide away" from the trauma of that right corner. The song used for this whole section also has the faintest lyrics stating "I'm tired", I think this compliments the movement really well as it's almost like a more lethargic and passive version of the original movement. You can see this section in the video link attached below.

I would say in this group I have definitely taken a slightly more leadership role however everyone has an equal opportunity to express ideas and I would say it's been a predominantly positive experience working in my group. Even if we have faced any small disagreements we move past them very quickly and often just agree to disagree which has been really beneficial to the progress of the project.

We also said we wanted to get the end choreography set together and work on it as a whole group which allowed everyone's influence to be involved which I believe was a really good idea as it assisted in pulling the whole piece and its different sections together structurally!

There was one section travelling around in a circle at the end just before we are in the ending position and we tried it out with a certain combination of kicking and turning steps. It just didn't feel right so we decided to keep it much simpler with just a run into the final circle. This also then inspired us to simplify some other small sections down and we decided against another lift section as we felt we didn't want to over complicate the final section. I personally feel the movement throughout does do a fantastic job at showing the concept, alot of thought went into each choreographed section as I have explained and there was a meaning behind the whole piece I just feel as if we need to compliment the movement with the performance and intentions, as that is what I feel it is in need of.
