Wednesday 18th September During lesson 2 were shown different choreographic devices and how they could be used. We developed our previous motifs of either our name or our number and combined the motifs in pairs to form a sequence. We were given the task to identify any choreographic devices we had already used within our sequence and then we had to develop further by using 4 different choreographic devices and be able to explain where we used them. My partner and I decided to use repetition, retrograde, inversion and canon. By doing this we added more contrast into our motifs and increased the length just by editing and re using motifs. We then made up a motif using adjectives that describes our zodiac sign. I’m a Sagittarius so the strengths of my sign are insightful, superior, rational, brave, beautiful, lively, lovely and optimistic. The weaknesses of my sign are forgetful, careless and rash.

I really enjoyed watching your vlog. I like the way you gone into detail about each choreographic device you want to use and linked them to your chosen stimulus. I think its good how you are stepping out of your comfort zone during your choreography process. You have also made some really good detailed points about Wayne Mc Gregors process. All your ideas sound very good, I look forward to seeing the end result.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI really liked watching your vlog as you have gone into a lot of relevant detail. You have really explored the choreographic devices you are going to use. How have you found using the process of creating movement from listening to the music?
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see your end result.
I am finding the process of choreographing the the music easier than creating movement without the music as I can pick out details in the music and try and use them a highlights within the movement! It also helps me set the pace of movement as I can either complement the music and keep the dynamics similar or use contrasting dynamics to juxtapose the music.
Deletethis vlog is excellent ! you have explained in detail about what choreographic devices you will include within your piece and how you feel they will effect your overall performance.
ReplyDeleteyou have answered all key questions given and explained your answers in depth.
what do you feel your strengths are when creating your solo?
I really enjoyed watching this vlog and you are very confident throughout, well done.
I think one of my strengths within creating my solo is linking the movement to the stimulus. I am choreographing phrases which link to my idea of dementia, for example, a motif spelling out the word dementia.I am also using gestures such as having my hands on my head to link to the symptoms of memory loss and confusion.
