Week 9 - Choreographers Piece #2
For this choreographer piece I decided to look at Wolf Works Corps choreographed by Wayne McGregor. I found this piece very very chaotic and busy due to the frantic music and the patterns/pathways of the dancers, for example at the beginning of the dance piece the dancers, in pairs, move diagonally across the floor while other duets join in from different angles and directions which confuses the audience. In addition there are many leg and arm extensions from different positions and levels this helps create very abstract movements while still keeping it classical and I think that is Wayne McGregors style, exploring the mixture of ballet and contemporary, which in my options is becoming very popular in today’s industry. The dynamics differ throughout the piece, for example some movements are very soft and subtitle, an example of this would be a developpe or a body gesture, however some moments juxtapose that by them being shape and direct e.g kick. Infra is genuinely more soft and g...
Week 2 - Choreographic Devices
During this weeks lesson we experimented with specific choreographic techniques such as: -canon -unison -complementary -contrast -retrograde -reverse -inverse -improvisation around a theme -repetition -embellishment -argumentation -fragmentation -rondo form -accumulation -climax -highlight ,in order to help develop our sequences from last weeks lesson From last weeks lesson we used the same sequences from our partner work and modified it by selecting four choreographic techniques to include within out sequences in order to further our knowledge. Me and my partner chose unison, canon, contrast and highlight. From here we performed our sequence to the class, who then had to guess which four choreographic devices we had chosen. However in order for our peers to guess correctly we had to make sure that our selected devices were clear and well demonstrated, luckily our peers guessed 3/4 so to improve for next time, i would make out highlight a larger movement in order t...
This is a clear vlog. You clearly explain where you have got up to in this week's lesson. I find it interesting how you have decided to use the choreographic processes of improvisation and drawing shapes on a piece of paper. Which out of these was more effective in movement creation for you?
ReplyDeleteImprovisation was definitely more effective for me due to it allowing me to just really get into the music, which I found helped me come up with some very creative and original ideas in which I could use within my choreography
