In todays dance piece we went over the dance to refresh our minds to make sure everyone knew what they were doing and were confident with everything we have done currently. After the gang motif we then created little 4 phrase movements for a solo motif using movements that have already been used in ur piece previously.
I chose to create a floor based piece in order to create levels compared to other people in our piece and to show the harsh, vulnerability of some characters in gangs and how they may be at their lowest but still have to fight for themselves/people they care about. For my dance phrase I did a arm swing forward bringing me to the floor from a standing position. I then did a roll to the left. I then did a windmill movements with just my arms, connecting with the floor, to the roll back to the right on my front, holding my legs in the air to end in a seated position looking down. I wanted to create the emotion of sad as not everyone enjoys fighting and the reluctant-ness of this - the lower movement phrase compared with people who did their phrase completely standing. Also by my solo being floor based it creates a contrast with other dancers.
We then revisited our fight motif phrases that we created a few weeks ago. Me and my partner Lois watched a video we took to refresh our memories as we remembered this wasn't one of our strongest pieces of work at the time. We managed to perform our little dance phrase as well as creating a few new moves in order to progress it further. This is because we are supposed to be the last pair standing and therefore have to have a longer duet. Therefore, we added the movements: Lois pushing me down using her arm, her kicking over me, me then pushing her down to lift her up, then for her to spin round push me down and kick me - killing me. The extended part we added
