Initial ideas -

light on my feet

bent knees

use of arms

As soon I saw this sculpture I knew i8 would want to connect it with house dance as it shows all 3 key e

elements of the style: bent knees, on tip toes and use of arms. When I choreographed this section of the dance I kept a lot of the movement in this position and if I moved out of it I would then return to it.

peace

This statue is the focus point for my solo.

Initially I wanted to use this statue to represent Hip-hop but then I decided to change it to the main focus for my solo as it isn't just hip-hop that brings me peace it is all the styles and dance in general. I ended my solo in this position to represent this sculpture and show that all the styles I whooped through my piece made me whole.

Initial ideas -

wrist roll

roll all through the body

I chose this sculpture because it represented wrist rolls the best out of ones I had found. I wanted to include a spiralling sculpture as I felt I could get very creative with the shape of it.

In this video it shows me experimenting with arm waves that I will use to represent the structure I have chosen. I am going to play with the size, direction and shape of them to represent the shape effectively.

I chose sculptures for my solo as felt inspired by the different shapes and what each one could represent in my solo. I created a pathway within my solo that lead to each statue and each style tgaht that sculpture represented. I chose 3 styles to focus on house, popping and locking but with each I chose 1 move that I explored to show the sculpture. for house I chose a pard o boray, for popping I chose waves and for locking I chose wrist rolls.

The song I chose was Big Hen (steal my joy) by Fred Again.

I chose this because it had a range run speed and lots of different sounds that I could use for each section of my dance. The words "can't nobody steal my joy" are repeated throughout the song which I ended up using as another focus point of my piece. Dance is my joy so I linked my final statue 'peace' with the lyrics of the song.

Initial ideas -

waving

creating the statue out of my arms path

With this sculpture I want to create the shape but with my arms waving, so it gives the affect that I am tracing the shape of it with my hands.

In this video I freestyle with wrist rolls, I tried doing them on all different levels as the sculpture I was basing this section of has a spiral from top to bottom. I also tried trasing my body with the wrist roll swell.

For our first few sessions we workshopped ideas and expanded them with ways we could explore them.

For spacing we found it hard to make sure we filled the space but also not be so far away that we look disconnected. there is only three of us so formations were limited but we switched it up as much as possible in ways such as using levels in a standard triangle formation. This made a simple formation look more effective.

As a group we all chose different songs and sound affects for Jasmine to then put the mix together. we created a Spotify playlist so that we could all access the songs and tried choreographing to each song to see if it fit or not.

For costume we ended up deciding to stick with basic colours such as black white and grey as we felt this represented the greyness of technology. This also let the focus be on the light from the phones rather than on a colourful costume we had originally planned.
