Dance evaluation 23rd October Guernica

1. What was the stimulus for the piece ?

Guernica a painting by Pablo picasso repressing the bombing of a little spanish town called Guernica.

2.How did you create movement material to communicate the theme/stimulus? 

For example in the dance I used a lot of crouching , hiding and low to the ground moves . One move I had myself in a small ball I the floor reaching out , this was to syimbolize how people may of been taking cover when the him hit but still reacting out for the help of their loved ones . 

3. What was your contribution ?

 My contribution to the peice was a smooth movement myself and luke where involved in . We both rolled into the same movement in canon to show a domino effect that my happen in a disaster . Also my contribution was my idea that involved contact with eachother . It was to all group around kim and move in a Heat beat motion around her in almost a big hug position . 

4. How did you use your phyisical skills in the performance ? 

In the performance I used extension to show panic through out my body that someone in a bombing disaster my experience longing for safety or the hand of their loved ones . Also my posture was strong and straight to show the determination to survive within the dance. 

5. strength / weakness ?

I think my ideas and  solo movemnets where effective and relevant to the stimulus . Also I think my timing with the music was good and has improved . They way I interacted with others was strong aswell. To improve I think I need to be more graceful within my movements and become faster when travelling . 

6. Target ? 

My target is to become faster when traveling throught the dance as I don't want to fall behind in timing with my team  , also I'd like to become more graceful when portraying these movements especially as they represent a serious stimuli . maybe i need to improve on my balance to become more graceful .
