My Moodboard that formed my initial idea, it was really easy to collate my ideas this way and allowed me to look over it generally and pick out aspects I really liked and by process of elimination I could see what I wanted to use.

This song could work well at the beginning when introducing Callum and Sephy and showing their relationship. It will probably have to be more lyrical based because of the way the song is. However, it's a good way of representing the story.

To help me with creating the choreography I needed to break it down into sections to make it easier to work with rather than trying to tackle a piece bulked up into one. To do so, I split it into 6 different sections that represented key elements within the story.

To look into the photography of dance, we were set the task and stimulus of Lamentation by Martha Graham. Lamentation is a piece of choreography based on grief, but when choreographed it was based around trying to the make the audience feel something in which they could leave the theatre questioning themselves.

This is from the actual Lamentation piece and this is similar to what we have to recreate using a number of different materials. It's supposed to make somebody feel something when they look upon it.

This song would be perfect for the protest scene in section two. This is due to the lyrics in the song representing confrontation and what's going on in America right now. The music video is more controversial compared to the lyrics and this is what allows it to have such an impact. ''It deals with race, gun violence, police brutality and the concept of freedom in a chaotic world''.

This is another image produced by the Martha Graham dance company showing the different angles the body can get into the positions that can be made to look abstract just by adding material to the look. This image contrasts to the other as it's in colour, so I don't think it gives away the same ideas and because of the lighter colours, it almost makes it seem a lot happier in terms of the mood.

Looking into this workshop, I am quite apprehensive as due to not having a lot of experience within this field. There has been an odd few occasions where I've taught a disabled learner, but nothing to this extent with this many people. However, I am also looking forward to it as it will push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to try something different whilst testing my abilities to teach. To prepare for the workshop, we need to plan what we're doing and how we're going to approach it. To do so, we need to know more about the learners so that we can adapt the approach accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
To get all of our ideas out, we decided to note them down collaboratively and we managed to think of a few ideas. Most of them included props as we knew this would be a good way to engage the learners within the exercises and keep them interested throughout the lesson. We knew that the movements involved within this class would need to be simple, and nothing too strenuous that would tire them out quickly.
We decided that everybody within the class would be responsible for one dance, so we each chose our own piece that we would teach within the lesson. I decided to go for Grease lightning as it's a song where movements can be repeated and most people know it due to it being so popular within film. I chose not to use any props within mine as the repertoire of the class already included a lot of props, so my piece was a rest for them.

# data[].attributes.body
As a group, we thought it would be a good idea to invest in some flat markers for everybody to stand on. This means they always have something to focus on and always have something to return too, so they knew their place. This would be easier than telling them every time they moved to get into a space. If we placed them equally around the room, they would easily be in a space every time they stand on their spots, so it will avoid bumping into one another.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely loved the workshop and it was so rewarding to see how happy all of the participants were throughout and at the end and the feedback that we got was brilliant from the learners and their teaching staff. They all seemed really happy to just be involved and participate within the class and they kept their enthusiasm up all the way through. I think we did the right amount of exercises as it was apparent they were beginning to get tired, but they still put a lot of effort into all the pieces.
The coloured spots on the floor really helped with them positioning themselves around the room and it allowed them ownership and control over something, as we allowed them to stand next to whoever they wanted, this allowed them to feel more comfortable. It made it a lot easier for them to return back tot heir places, so it didn't waste any time when walking round in the circles.
I think the props also worked well as they got really excited about them and gave them something else to do. The ones that worked especially well were the tambourines and the pompoms as they were an auditory source as well as visual. They really seemed to engage within these exercises and get involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to be really confident within my approach to teaching as confidence is key within these classes and you need to remain consistent and persistent. Constant talking is needed as well as actually showing them so they have two ways of learning the movements so they can use whichever one they like to use as a way of replicating. I really enjoyed teaching my piece and I thought the movements were suitable and easy-enough for the class. If we did it again, I would love to teach some more and do a few pieces rather than just one. In oversight, I really enjoyed this workshop and I look forward to working with them again.

What I like about this image is that you don't have any idea or understanding as to what's actually going on. You don't know how many people are involved as well so it gives away that sense of mystery and draws you into the image more. The black and white filter effect also makes it more endearing and creates a more intriguing feel.

This one creates more of an emotional pull from an audience perspective. To me, it looks as though they're hunched over in pain like they've taken a blow to the stomach or something similar. Everything is confined into one and there's no escape, this could be in terms of how they're feeling and they can't escape their own mind. Everybody will take something different away from the photograph but that's the beauty of the work.

Dance photography varies depending on how and what the dancer requires. Some photographers may have a lot of experience working with dancers whereas others won't, so they'll be able to help mould the dancers into positions. Below, there are some examples of how different their work can be and how varied it can be depending on the photographers styles.

Dance photography could definitely be an avenue I explore within my final major project as I find it so interesting the way you can produce something so meaningful to you, but somebody else can interpret it so differently. There's so many things can be explored throughout this and it could even be brought in to use alongside something else such as choreography to enhance it and provide fresh skills alongside existing ones. Something that would be interesting to explore within photography would be how it enables a business/dance school to promote themselves. If a shot looks more professional, it is obviously going to give the school a more professional approach in comparison to others.

I'm thinking about using this song for section 3, where Lynette commits suicide. It's quite gritty  and chilling but instead of using the version with vocals in, I could use the instrumental instead so it would allow to me to create my own meaning to it rather than following theirs.

Something that really influenced me was Dave's performance at the Brit Awards. His performance was extremely controversial and has caused uproar across many social media platforms. It depicts how racism is such a big issue still, but people try to cover it up. People are still struggling with coming to terms on how to treat people of a different race. Discrimination is still a massive issue across the entire world, but nobody really talks about it anymore. I could use part of this song within the piece to show how impactful the lyrics are.

This is the basis of the programme where you can add music into, crop, alter and rearrange. It's easy to use and allows me to layer music over the top of each other to create exactly what I want. There's no limit to how long you're allowed to edit and the programme is completely free to download which makes it even better. Once a track has been edited and completed, it can still be worked on afterwards, so it's accessible to get back too.

On December 1,1955, Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Instead of going to the back of the bus, which was designated for African Americans, she sat in the front. When the bus started to fill up with white passengers, the bus driver asked Parks to move. She refused. Her resistance set in motion one of the largest social movements in history, the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Rosa Louise McCauley was born on February 4th, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. As a child, she went to an industrial school for girls and later enrolled at Alabama State Teachers College for Negroes (present-day Alabama State University). Unfortunately, Parks was forced to withdraw after her grandmother became ill. Growing up in the segregated South, Parks was frequently confronted with racial discrimination and violence. She became active in the Civil Rights Movement at a young age.

Parks married a local barber by the name of Raymond Parks when she was 19. He was actively fighting to end racial injustice. Together the couple worked with many social justice organizations. Eventually, Rosa was elected secretary of the Montgomery chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

By the time Parks boarded the bus in 1955, she was an established organizer and leader in the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama. Parks not only showed active resistance by refusing to move she also helped organize and plan the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Many have tried to diminish Parks' role in the boycott by depicting her as a seamstress who simply did not want to move because she was tired. Parks denied the claim and years later revealed her true motivation:

"People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in."

Parks courageous act and the subsequent Montgomery Bus Boycott led to the integration of public transportation in Montgomery. Her actions were not without consequence. She was jailed for refusing to give up her seat and lost her job for participating in the boycott.

After the boycott, Parks and her husband moved to Hampton, Virginia and later permanently settled in Detroit, Michigan. Parks work proved to be invaluable in Detroit's Civil Rights Movement. She was an active member of several organizations which worked to end inequality in the city. By 1980, after consistently giving to the movement both financially and physically Parks, now widowed, suffered from financial and health troubles. After almost being evicted from her home, local community members and churches came together to support Parks. On October 24th, 2005, at the age of 92, she died of natural causes leaving behind a rich legacy of resistance against racial discrimination and injustice.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Martin Luther King, Jr. (born January 15, 1929, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.-died April 4, 1968, Memphis, Tennessee) Baptist minister and social activist who led the civil rights movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until his death by assassination in 1968. His leadership was fundamental to that movement's success in ending the legal segregation of African Americans in the South and other parts of the United States. King rose to national prominence as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which promoted nonviolent tactics, such as the massive March on Washington (1963), to achieve civil rights. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

Early years

King came from a comfortable middle-class family steeped in the tradition of the Southern Black ministry: both his father and maternal grandfather were Baptist preachers. His parents were college-educated, and King's father had succeeded his father-in-law as pastor of the prestigious Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. The family lived on Auburn Avenue, otherwise known as "Sweet Auburn," the bustling "Black Wall Street," home to some of the country's largest and most prosperous Black businesses and Black churches in the years before the civil rights movement. Young Martin received a solid education and grew up in a loving extended family.

This secure upbringing, however, did not prevent King from experiencing the prejudices then common in the South. He never forgot the time when, at about age six, one of his white playmates announced that his parents would no longer allow him to play with King, because the children were now attending segregated schools. Dearest to King in these early years was his maternal grandmother, whose death in 1941 left him shaken and unstable. Upset because he had learned of her fatal heart attack while attending a parade without his parents' permission, the 12-year-old King attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window.

In 1944, at age 15, King entered Morehouse College in Atlanta under a special wartime program intended to boost enrollment by admitting promising high-school students like King. Before beginning college, however, King spent the summer on a tobacco farm in Connecticut; it was his first extended stay away from home and his first substantial experience of race relations outside the segregated South. He was shocked by how peacefully the races mixed in the North. "Negroes and whites go [to] the same church," he noted in a letter to his parents. "I never [thought] that a person of my race could eat anywhere." This summer experience in the North only deepened King's growing hatred of racial segregation.

At Morehouse, King favoured studies in medicine and law, but these were eclipsed in his senior year by a decision to enter the ministry, as his father had urged. King's mentor at Morehouse was the college president, Benjamin Mays, a social gospel activist whose rich oratory and progressive ideas had left an indelible imprint on King's father. Committed to fighting racial inequality, Mays accused the African American community of complacency in the face of oppression, and he prodded the Black church into social action by criticizing its emphasis on the hereafter instead of the here and now; it was a call to service that was not lost on the teenage King. He graduated from Morehouse in 1948.

King spent the next three years at Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania, where he became acquainted with Mohandas Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence as well as with the thought of contemporary Protestant theologians. He earned a bachelor of divinity degree in 1951. Renowned for his oratorical skills, King was elected president of Crozer's student body, which was composed almost exclusively of white students. As a professor at Crozer wrote in a letter of recommendation for King, "The fact that with our student body largely Southern in constitution a colored man should be elected to and be popular [in] such a position is in itself no mean recommendation." From Crozer, King went to Boston University, where, in seeking a firm foundation for his own theological and ethical inclinations, he studied man's relationship to God and received a doctorate (1955) for a dissertation titled "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman."

Something loose fitting and flowing would be nice for Sephy's character. It needs to be something quite pretty to show she has class, so a summer dress of some sort would fit the character quite well. Obviously two of these would need to be brought to ensure one could be made dirty in the kidnap scene, but either of these could be good choices.
