Dance Lesson One

Dance Lesson One
What is a stimulus?
The stimulus is a starting point.

Examples of stimuli
Visual - Picture
Text - Book, Poem, Script
Concept/Theme - Happiness, Friendship, Love, War
Aural - Music, Dialogue, Natural Sounds, Footsteps

Our stimulus is 'Faultline' by Shobana Jeyasingh.

Some key words that describe the original choreography or sharp hand movements, fluid motions, fast, angular, intricate, staccato, powerful, agitated, aggressive.

What Went Well - In our choreography, we stayed in time throughout which helps to bring fluidity to the piece. As well as this, at the beginning of the piece, we all had a goo arm extention which brings the aspect of the original choreography into our own adaptation.

Even Better If - One thing we could do to improve our performance would be to sharpen the pliea hand movement at the beginning of the piece because it would help to make the performance become more accented and varied in movement types.
