1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set?

Throughout the dance, the dancers are either grouped together or spaced apart. At some instances, there is a clumped group and a dispersed group coexisting. These formations influence and shape the space. The tent defines the space by forming a distinct divide.

2. What choreographic design principles are implemented?

The four components of choreography are structure, relationships, design, and devices. These four components assist the dancer in expressing themselves on stage.

DANCE QUOTES

quotations about dance & dancing

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion.

MARTHA GRAHAM

attributed, It's All About You

Dance, dance, as long as ye can, We must travel through life, but why make a dead march of it?

ELIZA COOK

"Dancing-Song", Eliza Cook's Journal

We view dance as a marriage of the representational capacity of language and the rhythmicity of music. This interaction allows people not only to tell stories using their bodies but to do so while synchronizing their movements with others' in a way that fosters social cohesion.

STEVEN BROWN

Scientific American, Jul. 2008

Dancing is the child of music and love.

A. FANDANGO

Whatever music you beat on your drum there is somebody who can dance to it.

CHINUA ACHEBE

In a society that worships love, freedom and beauty, dance is sacred,It is a prayer for the future, a remembrance of the past and a joyful exclamation of thanks for the present.

AMELIA ATWATER-RHODES

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

DON HENLEY & GLENN FREY

Now is the time for drinking, now the time to dance footloose upon the earth.

HORACE

Merrily, merrily whirled the wheels of the dizzying dances
Under the orchard-trees and down the path to the meadows;
Old folk and young together, and children mingled among them.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

Dance ... is life, or becomes it, in a way that other arts cannot attain. It is not in stone, or words or tones, but in our muscles. It is a formulation of their movements.

BAKER BROWNELL

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE

attributed, Dancing with Natasha

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.

XIAOLU GUO
A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers
I would only believe in a God that knows how to dance.

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE

They have measured many a mile,
To tread a measure with you on this grass.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

The dance is four-dimensional art in that it moves concretely in both space and time. For the onlooker, it is an art largely of visual space combined with time. But for the dancer, and this is more important, the dance is more a muscular than a visual space rhythm, a muscular time, a muscular movement and balance. Dancing is not animated sculpture, it is kinesthetic.

BAKER BROWNELL

There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.

So the sun goes down and the world goes dancing
And the stars come out and they all go dancing

"Dance enables you to find yourself and lose yourself at the same time." - Anonymous
This quote relates to abstractionism  because you it is about using the techniques you have learned (find yourself) to create a piece that allows you to be free of boundaries (lose yourself).

# data[].attributes.body
In this video, the dancers are really feeling the music and letting go. The movements in this video that stand out to me are how flowy the movements are and how after they would improv they would come together to do the same thing which I thought was cool. I also thought it was cool how the leader of the dance would point at each person and they would start dancing and do their own thing. Some did sharp and quick movements while others did moments that were softer and had more flow.

1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set?

1. The dancers throughout the dance are clumped together or spread apart. At some points there’s a group that clumped and a group that’s spread at the same time. These formations shape the space. The tent shapes the space by creating a clear divide.

2. What choreographic design principles are implemented?

1. Direction, levels, speed, and pathways are all implemented into the dance.

3. What are some remaining questions you have?

1. How long did this dance take to choreograph and organize.

# data[].attributes.body
Space is shaped by the dancers and the set in such a way that the whole stage is being used. The dancers are not just dancing on one spot, they use the whole stage. Also I love how the set was very simple but it looked like a tent, hence the name of the dance piece. I noticed that some choreographic design principles that were implemented were elements of contemporary and ballet, but they were not preformed in a traditional way, but with with  elements of abstractism in it.

# data[].attributes.body
In today’s dance experience we see a lot of dancing where the person is able to express themselves in whatever way they want and let go, which you could say is Abstract dance because abstractionism is all about letting go and doing what feels right.

# data[].attributes.body
How is space shaped by the dancers and the set? 

The space around dancers is shaped by their movements and the shapes their bodies make. The space is affected by the set because the set is also adding dimension and shape to the dance as a whole.


What choreographic design principles are implemented?

This choreography was designed to invoke emotion in the audience, as well as display the emotion of the dancers to tell a story. 
	


What are some remaining questions you have?

		I still would like to know more about the storyline of the dance and what it is    supposed to represent. 	

# data[].attributes.body
1) When the dancers come together in their nude leotards, you could really see the huge piece of fabric making it seem like a tent surrounding the stage.
2) The different principles that are implanted are the expansions of the dancers giving it the tone and the different movement all creating the dance.

# data[].attributes.body
1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set?

Space is shaped by the dancers due to the formations and the movement of their body. The set impacts the space created due to the shape and presence that the set gives off and shows.

1. What choreographic design principles are implemented?

The choreography of this dance was designed to make everyone who watched the number feel something and everyone can have a different perspective on it.

1. What are some remaining questions you have?

Some questions I still have are where this dance was performed and what the exact concept of this dance is.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Shape is perhaps the strongest visual component in dance. The term shape may refer to individual body shapes (the way in which 3-dimensional space is used by the body) and group shapes. Body shapes are present in all actions in dance.
2. When the dancers are moving across , making movements.
3. there really is not any question I have.

# data[].attributes.body
.1. the space shape on set is full of different figures made my the lighting and there are tents covering the background. There is a hole in the middle of the tent. The craftsman who made everything seen on stage, combined abstractionism with fairyland.
The dancers are using leotards color nude. This makes the dancers look like if they were naked but they aren't. It makes the dancer's shapes made with the body more noticeable.
2. Choreographic designs are implemented by the use of many different movements at once. One thing I noticed is that the dancers do not use any facial expressions.
3. I wonder what was going inside of his head when he came up with the idea of making this dance. What is he trying to tell the audience? What are the thoughts of the dancers while they were dancing this piece?
Is it a choreography and they had to learn every move? Or did the director tell them to just do whatever shape or movement they wanted to?

# data[].attributes.body
How is space shaped by the dancers and the set? 
Space is shaped by the dancers and the set by the movements in the dance and the way the dancers interacted with each other. One thing that stood out to me was how the dancers would go from small clusters to all spread out across the stage. The fabric and lighting also shaped the space. 
What choreographic design principles are implemented?
A few choreographic design principles in the dance were how they used their whole body for the movements and the way they used the whole stage. Also, the formations were very different from usual formations. 

What are some remaining questions you have?
Was there an idea behind this dance or did it not have a story or plot at all? How long did it take the dancers to learn this whole piece?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set?

The space looks bigger because of the tent and the black stage. The dancers also are wearing nude leotards that make them blend into the theme of the stage and give the production more emotion and pureness.

1. What choreographic design principles are implemented?

The dancers move across the stage making different movements.

1. What are some remaining questions you have?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set?

The dancers' shapes were very interesting because of the costumes or “fabric” that they are wearing so you can see the actual dancers body but you can see the movements and shapes they make. The tent made the set come to life and look bigger which made the dancers look bigger.

2. What choreographic design principles are implemented?

The design of the show is very abstract and different from anything I have seen with the different shapes not only the costumes, but the sets too.

3. What are some remaining questions you have?

From all the videos and articles we saw and read it makes you engaged in the art of it and makes you want to learn more about it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set?

1. The background cover had a hole in the middle to show depth and an entry point. The dancers wore nude (colored) leotards, so when they would come close together, they would look like a big single color spot on the stage.

2. What choreographic design principles are implemented?

1. The movement along different points on stage, the use of negative and positive space, and creating specific shapes with their bodies.

3. What are some remaining questions you have?

1. How are the dancers able to stay that still as they are lifted?

2. How do the dancers know to stay synchronized and on time?

3. What is the process the dancers need to go to?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How is space shaped by the dancers and the set? The set being only a huge tent makes the stage seem larger and the dancers using the whole stage to space out their movements makes it seem chaotic (?) in a way. Especially towards the end when there is a lot of movement going on and everyone is doing their own thing.

2. What choreographic design principles are implemented?They use the whole stage / the space they are given

3. What are some remaining questions you have? What is his thought process of creating these performances?
