My Contribution to the Choreogaphy

The section of choreography I have helped towards is a big fight scene that takes place at a big change in the music where there is a loud explosion. our movements link to the music as they are powerful and sharp and really compliment the impulse coming through in the dynamics. This therefore emphasises that it is fight as there is force and a sense of anger behind our movement. This part of the routine includes everyone coming together in unison and doing the same thing just maybe perhaps in opposite or facing different ways, however all in all we move as one. We begin in two separate groups, then continue to run into two opposite horizontal lines, we also include a V formation a circle, and straight line at the back of the stage. This is the show the transformation of growing from two parted emotions/personalities clashing to one structured brain trying to work out how it fits together. This also links back to the stimulus as we come together in unison and move to, represent the brain in the image and how it works as one organ, and an extremely important factor of life.

With my small group, the creative process we used was listening to the music and all improvising and doing what movements felt right, we would then watch each other and pick out certain movements or ideas that looked effective and find a way of combining them together to create an interesting section of choreography.

I also looked into some work by Martha Graham and the movements just really inspired me as the work really paints a picture in your head and I think as a mental health piece we wanted the audience to understand the story to its full potential.
