Performing my solo

I think my solo went really well, although I forgot a little bit of the dance but I managed repeat something and then pick up the routine.  My spacing and timing of the piece where good, just on a couple of the jumps my underneath foot wasn't fully stretched which makes the leaps and jumps look messy.

My focus was good but the way I could have made it better was more eye contacted with the audience, also I felt that my breath control was good as I normally hold my breath when I'm dancing.

Dance unit

To create a piece of dance that is 2 minutes in any style chosen, Can be a solo or duet. 

For my piece I have chosen to do a lyrical jazz number to the music Holding out for a hero by Ella May Bowen. I have chosen this style of dance because of the way I can express emotion and feeling through suitable movements. The music is very passionate so I need to make sure that the choreography is expressive and connects to the audience, make them feel involved in the piece and I want to keep them interested  throughout the number so adding jumps, drops, leaps, breath and pauses with help me with this.

I need to make sure that i have the right focus in this piece. My eye line can tend to drop if I feel uncomfortable with what I am doing so I am going to choreograph head movements and eye lines into my dance so this doesn't happen.

I feel that this term I have gained a lot more confidence with my dancing, and I feel that this has helped me in the group to put across ideas into group dances and numbers. It has also given me the confidence to help other students that don't have much dance experience.

Street Rehearsal Videos
Refer to masters DVD
Indentification- burgundy tracksuit bottoms and a Grey top


We Recorded our pieces at the begining of the lesson and at the end so we can see the improvement in our dances with a two hour block.

Was our timing better? did we have the right posture and style to fit the piece?

I found that our timeing was better as this was the main thing that we focused on throughout the rehearsal. we also sorted out spacing and we found that we could make our movements bigger without the worry of hitting each other.

Also we had to focus on one member of the group with litte experience in dance. We felt that this was necerrcery beacuse he was creating a bad focus in the piece, attreacting the audiences attention because of timing isuses and bad movements. by the end of the rehearsal he was up to scratch and fittted in the group better.

Dance

Both reached for the gun


Indentification- right front stage, blue jacket and balck tights

I have demonstrated physical skills like posture, alignment, coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, control, spatial awareness, awareness of and relationship to other dancers in the performance.
I feel that i did interpreative skills things like timing, focus and i also used loads facial and body expression.

I was really please with the piece overall the group were really in time with each other, everyone satained in there role. I had good characterisation and was very consistant expressions and movements. Vocaly this this was a strong piece we all had good accents and projection.

The only thing that would have made it better was rehehearals. Individualy we did well but all had different ideas so when we came together our own work didnt fit together. eventually i took charge and used different ideas from each persons movements.

I was asked at the last minute to perform as a background dancer which ment that i had time limitation. we thought that the best way to incorperate movements was to add very small, effective movements.

I had lots of fossi style movements and strong arm movements. There was alot of energy on the stage, the sepeate groups really worked well it was very effective. We could each make up movement to our assigned song lyrics that suited our abilitys and i found that this made the piece look very effective.
