Blog 9- Conclusion

(Brown, 2022)

To conclude this series of blogs I will be discussing the development of my choreography and what I would do differently in the future. Referring back to Blog 1, I discussed how the stimulus image led to my creative process of Locked- in Syndrome. This affected my creative process as the movements are a reflection of the powerful thoughts happening inside the body and how we can translate that through artistry. To allow the audience to visualise Locked- in syndrome there are moments in the choreography where the dancer is standing almost disassociated which reflects the shield and how isolated it feels. During the process of creating the choreography it was interesting to have other dancers to collaborate with as they interpreted similarly but had different ideas for the movements. This allowed us to explore a large variety of interpretations which we can use to help develop our own individuality during our own performance. 

(Kurucz, 2017)

I think I achieved the theme of Locked- In syndrome well as each movement had a meaning that linked back to the feeling of being trapped and isolated. For example, in my section the movements were inspired by thoughts swirling around in the head and trying to break an infinite cycle. I also was inspired by the stimulus image of being trapped in a room. This helped me to visualise movements as it felt like I was battling against space. This shows the dancer fighting for the audience to understand them and the contrast between the stillness of their physical state against the frustration and internal anger. Overall, I believe the creation of the solo was a difficult yet inspiring challenge. It allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and become a new character. I benefited from working with other people as it allowed me to broaden my choreography knowledge and learn to adapt to new interpretations. In the future, I would like to create more of my movements from using improvisation from myself and others. I think this would allow me to create spontaneous movements and more original content.

    I think you have made good progress from week 1 and your piece has come together nicely.

      In the future, I would like to use more intrecet movements and choreograph around my weaker areas in order to develop my choreographic skills.

Blog 5- Wayne McGregor Choreographic Devices

Image
  (TEDtalksDirector, 2012) In this blog, I will be discussing a short motif that I have created using inspiration from Wayne McGregor’s demonstration on TED talks. He explains and shares his choreographic pathway by showing how he can create a phrase and have his dancers execute and interpret parts of it to create choreography. He describes the dancers as objects and lines so the audience can visualise their movements as an embodiment of the word instead of people dancing (McGregor, 2012). In the demonstration he uses the stimulus of the word “ted” to create his movements (TEDtalksDirector, 2012). He visualises the word in many forms to create different angles for his choreography. For example, he imagines the word flattened on the floor, writing the letters with his body movements and also being inside the letters (TEDtalksDirector, 2012). This creates an abstract piece with many interpretations for the audience and allows the dancers to have a varied creativity process.  I h...

Blog 6- Atomos Wayne McGregor Analysis

Image
  In this blog, I will be discussing Wayne McGregor's creative process in creating his piece called Atomos. Wayne used the dancers as a main part of the choreography process, he watched what movements they created while improvising and used elements in his piece to create choreography. He gave information to the dancers about maintaining formations and elements, meaning they could have freedom within the realms of his rules he set for the dancers (WellcomeCollection, 2014). McGregor referred back to octopus inspired movements to help the dancers add characterisation and a theme to their execution of movements. For the stimulus, McGregor used short clips from a film and atomised it. The dancers then used this as inspiration for their improvisation (WellcomeCollection, 2014). At the start of the piece, the dancers are in a cluster formation centre stage and they use the device of negative space to move around each other. They use partnering to create lifts that fill the space and mak...
