Last week!

This week we focussed mainly on are costume construction. We have come to an end of the historical costume design, and are now studying the theme of punk, and are costumes are going to be very trendy and cool basing them on the performance We will rock you! I can’t wait, as We rock you is such a funky enjoyable performance, the costumes are also amazing! There not like normal shows they make a statement, and are all very different.

 

                                        
We were given homework which was to research the show and find funky pictures of the costumes from it. We also have been asked to bring in jeans to cut up and make funky which we will be using for our costumes as well as tartan. We have to also research the history behind the two materials (denim and tartan)

We didn’t have many dance lessons during this week but the ones we did have we were focussing on are paired work where we have to construct a routine including some movements and motions that where set like 'racing start' and 'sink to the floor' every movement we did we had to be touching through the whole routine. It’s similar to DV8 very physical, and requires a lot of energy. Every movement has to flow, and it is all based around an object, similar to Enter Achilles where they used an object in most of the dancers like the beer and the ball. I am partnered with Kelly and we have created and tried many cool lifts and rolls!
