These are themes that are personal to me and that drive me to create movement material.

I also want to explore movement textures, to be able to create a visual transition from one theme to the next.

1. 'Excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements'

2. 'The quality of being worthless or futile'

To be completely self - absorbed, exuding confidence and assurance. Believing that the world is just as obsessed with you, as you are with yourself...

Some quotes to reference :

1. 'Vanity is the flatterer of the soul' - Edward Counsel

2. 'This is vanity : living to pretend, living to seem, living to appear. And this makes the soul restless' - Pope Francis

3. 'Vanity plagues us all. From lowly selfie - takers pouting at their phones and zapping their images out into the cold infinity of cyberspace, all the way to those occupying the highest offices in the land. It's unseemly, this desperate campaign to control how we are seen by the world. But it's also deeply human, something that unifies us all, this lonely pettiness, this struggling against our forever - thwarted egos' - Richard Lawson

'Born this way' by Lady GaGa - 'I'm beautiful in my own way cause God makes no mistakes'/'Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set'

'Vanity' by Christina Aguilera - 'I'm not cocky, I just love myself'/ 'Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fliest b*tch of them all? Never mind, I am. That b*tch is so f*cking pretty, yeah I am'...

'Vanity' by Lady GaGa - 'Pictures in magazines, movie screens'/'There is a camera, so many beauty queens'/ 'It's so good to be populous and glamorous, we love ourselves and no one else'

'Nothing wrong with being just a little vain, we need a little pretty cause this country is insane'/'So go ahead and label me whatever you like,But nothing's quite as sexy as a woman this fine'

(Choreographic scores are a set of parameters that take different forms of frameworks (instructions) to set up a dance structure).

From this, this will help me to think about how I use space + dynamics + quality to influence my performance.

Create an improvised task where spontaneously create a move, link it to another move, then get rid of the first move until I am satisfied with the material I have.
