Suspense or the Reactive (melodrama): 
All the tension is in the body, concentrated between the eyes. An inbreath also a delay to reaction.

Passionate (opera): The tension has exploded out of the body. Feeling anger, fear, hilarity, despair. Difficulty in controlling. 

Tragic: Body can’t move. Petrified. The body is solid tension.

I came up with a way of moving of through stage by incorporating a touch of Afrobeats, but making it more contemporary to complement and be better fitted to the choreography's theme. This move was initially intended to be added to my duet, but it was instead used as a means to travel in a clump together to represent togetherness.
(Shown below) 

Throughout these weeks, we solely focused on coming up with various different, diverse materials, in which we were put into small groups (duet, trio and quartets) to come up with a few counts in which would be added to the final composition. The premise of the group work was to bring as much material into the choreography as possible. 

It was important for my partners and I (trio) to use certain and specific movements that we had already been taught during our short skills sessions as we wanted our duet have a relation and link to the overall piece. We attempted utilising and experimenting with the many levels available to create a different dynamic, as well as experimenting with textures (to accentuate and match the flow of the music). It was a little intense to come up with something since I felt like we had to come up with something very perfect and amazing that fits perfectly with the theme and concept of the work, the more we worked on the duet the more ideas we gained and implemented. 

Along the way JP made sure to help and assist us on anything we needed help with or whether that also be directing and choreographing bits here & there on what would be better. 

We were also introduced to a variety of brief choreography in which JP had experimented with time, where we were taught to use the given choreography but to use our own personal timings, which were generally inconsistent and unpredictable.

Working together to come up with numerous movement and putting them together to produce a short choreography for the trio was the same procedure as choreographing the duet and quartet.

Being apart of  a trio and quartet was special as it gave the potential to bring out that unity and strength that is needed.

Personally, I have struggled along the way here and there but I feel as though I am surrounded by individuals who are always there to help and to better everyone.
