Evaluation

In conclusion I think that I have been able to achieve my original goal to some degree. I think there has been lots of changes and alterations to my initial idea, but I think that it comes across in my outcome. The journey to get to this outcome was harder that I thought it would be. A part of this I think comes from the fact that its difficult to create a solo in a group. There were differences in ideas and choreography choices but its hard to add individuality if there are three people all coming together to create a piece. The choreography doesn’t feel very personal to me necessarily but checks off all the criteria for the assignment.  In the future I think I would listen to my own intuition more and choreograph things that I am entirely happy with instead of compromising that for time or other people’s ideas.  

Something I learnt about myself is that I struggle to work in groups when it comes to adding creativity. I realised that I find it hard to carry out something I don’t particularly like, for example there were lots of the choreographic choices I didn’t exactly agree with or to me didn’t make sense and I found it hard to enjoy the process and really get into it artistically because of this. I think this is a shame because I was really inspired by my initial stimulus however, I feel like my ideas did strain a bit away from this as the process went on.

Regardless I am still happy that I was able to produce something that I can show which tells a story and incorporates everything I have learnt over the past few weeks.  I will also carry the information that I learnt from my research of my practitioner into my future choreographic processes.
