Reflection

My group has devised about one minute thirty of our choreographic piece. We found that it was much faster to each create a thirty second section for each motif separately then conjoin them to create a section of choreography. I found this was much quicker and meant that we each had a personal part in the piece. However, a challenge we faced was linking each section of choreography, so it flowed nicely unto the next. I think our next steps include refining the movements, so it looks like a cohesive piece.

Unfortunately, we were not able to receive any feedback recently as we did not have a full section of choreography to perform. Despite this some feedback we received earlier on was to make sure each of our motifs were unique and definite their own emotions which we chose. Think my group and I have taken this feedback and applied it quite well to our new sections of movement. When creating my own thirty seconds for the group I really tried to capture the essence of the sharpness and dull/ hopeless emotion that we want to be present in our contrasting war motif.  I was also conscious about linking this choreography to my chosen practitioner Martha Graham by taking inspirations from performances of hers that I watched and studied. Similarly for my other motif I tried to capture the softer movements and think kind of separate emotion I want the audience to feel.

As of now I am very happy with the direction that my choreographic piece is going and hope to further improve and refine my movements to create a full piece of choreography that links back to my main stimulus and can convey the story. This includes piecing each section of choreography together as a group.
