This week in performing arts..

We developed are heartbeat dance, and finished it. We then put ourselves into groups, i was with Kelly and Alice, and as the task we are doing is DV8 which is physical theatre and emotions, we had to add emotions to are heartbeat dance. Me, Kelly and Alice thought about an effective theme we could go with. We chose parents divorcing, i was the child Kelly was the dad and Alice was the mum. We showed this in are dancing as the mum and dad slowly split apart, and added more aggression to each other as the dance went on, they also comforted the child, and fought over her. We also showed that the only thing keeping the mum and dad together was the child.

Everyone’s situations where mostly to do with heartbreaks, this is mainly because of the song, and lyrics. This also meant the choreography would go too. Miss Dolan recorded us in progress, and once we had completed the dance she recorded it, here is a video of us talking about adding emotion into are dance-



Here is a video of are whole dance, with the added emotion and stoary in it, are theme is around a young girl whos parents are going through a divorce-



We were set our next assignment this week. And as I said above it is to do with he physical theatre group DV8. We have to research the project in depth. And will be focussing on many chorographers especially Lloyd New son, just like are heart beat dance, his choreography always shows emotion as well as meaning and contains a story. Which each of his dancers he tries to get a message across, this is why we did a lot of drama in are dancing this week.

In costume design this week, we started on our mood boards. And where given magazines to cut images of the colours we are going to be using for our historic costumes, and we arranged them onto paper, to fit in a fashionable and well presented way.

Next week we are going to be focussing on more of the physical theatre side to DV8, which is going to be a lot of hard work and fun! I am also excited as I will be helping out at the Rock challenge auditions next week teaching the audition dance to the students, this will also be a lot of fun.
