What went well?
- This week I felt confident that i knew the warm up phrase and was able to dance it with no mistakes from start to finish. This shows development from the first week, seeing me unable to accurately achieve the correct timing for one of the movements.
- I feel as though my technique has also improved. I have improved by getting higher on my demi pointe when doing a half turn, to face the back of the studio. I also feel as though I have improved the fluidity when coming out of floor rolls, by ensuring I transitioned into them with momentum, allowing my recovery to be more natural and easy.
- To take the phrase that step further, I plan to take it upon myself to add appropriate dynamics to the dance. This will make the dance look as if it is my own and will add characteristic to the phrase.
What went well?
- I feel as though the media piece we have been creating and developing for a number of weeks, is now coming together well with a clear and thought out structure to it. This has been a result of building on individual sections each week. Now performing all of the sections together in an appropriate order, really portrays the theme of media well. It does this by accessing different aspects of media through dance including being secretive, passing a story to others and therefore the story becomes altered, running away from the truth.
- To imporve next lesson, we need to keep going over the material we have tody put together to ensure it flows fluidly and the trasitions are looking clean and professional.
- Also next lesson we must fill in the couple of people who missed out on today's lesson as to what they are doing and where they are positioned on stage. Catching up is vital and we will work as a team to ensure they are up to speed with the movement and their positioning throughout? Being confident on stage is vital and we will all make sure that everyone feels comfortable and able to perform.
In the last few minutes of today's lesson we started to share some movement ideas for Another one bites the dust. Bryleah and Izzy had some positive ideas for this as they are playing Killer Queen and this is her song. They had done some research into various movement styles we could apply for this dance. We came to the conclusion that the style we dance in will be robotic and as if all dancers are brainwashed into thinking and moving in the same way. This will reflect the Killer Queen's influence on the citizens of Planet Mall, showing her authority over them. We tried out some ideas for example marching in unison as a group, showing the idea of 'control' and falling to the floor when the Queen signals at us, again showing her power over every individual.
