We used a formation of a triangle in order to make it look more interesting. By also standing in a triangle formation it allowed up to open up and expand the space we were moving in as the piece progressed. This meant that we could be more adventurous and daring with our movements. For example, we when turn towards the centre after doing the first low sway it allows us to easily transition between facing different directions without making it look disjointed or broken.
We showed character and aggression by using similar movements to one another to represent the 'gang' but made them unique to our own individual character. For example, I made sure my fingers were outstretched and pointed at the end to show the anger and twisted nature my character felt against the other 'gang'. This meant that my character would look more fierce compared to some others. I also made sure my movements were solid and didn't waver in order to show the strength my character felt when with their 'gang'.
EBI.
I feel as though we could be a little more adventurous with our movements. For example, possibly breaking formation for some of us to come downstage and do something and for some of us to stay upstage and do something. Then come back into formation for certain phrases. This could be done in order to emphasise a certain motif to show power/aggression/rebellion etc.
In order to improve our 'gang motif' we could make our movements sharper and jerkier in order to show violence. We could also then use it to show contrast between the smoother parts in our motif to emphasise a certain feeling/emotion.
Personally, I feel as though I need to contribute more to group ideas when I have them instead of stepping back and leaving it up to the more experienced choreographers. This would be good as it then helps progress my experience and knowledge of choreography and will make me feel more confident when devising motifs individually or as a group.
- We then started to devise a lift with a few other elements around the edge. Its still in early stages though.

The transition from ground into the lift was very smooth and looked practised. The hold was strong and could represent the power and strength there is in a 'gang' and why some people would die for it.
Our jerky movements around the edge of the lift were good and contrasting compared to the lift and could represent that even when things try to tear a group apart the bond and ties between them are too strong.
EBI.
We need to work on more movements that link for both parts of this lift phrase. For example, at some point we could have the people on the outside stand up and move towards the person being lifted and possibly do a throw in the air (the person is thrown) whilst everyone else collpases to the floor. This could be done to represent how if one person infiltrates the group or betrays them how things can fall apart.
For the second hour we then worked on 'We Will Rock You' sequence.
