Todays lesson ;

• Develop group choreography 
• Reflect on process and identify improvements 
• continue development of choreography 

Action plan for next lesson to start finding quotes aswell as start writing the ending of the piece when all my family have been killed throughout the tsunami and I am left with nothing at the end except for destroyed family and home.

My strengths so far for our group choreography is that their is team work being taken place at all times, thinking about each others abilities aswell as strong styles that everyone can interpret and take part in the choreography. Everyone is interpreting each others ideas and giving positive opinions from each. When finding music I interpreted a song that I thought everyone would like, we chose from a variety however the climax music is what I responded to choreograph to which is DVBB' Tsunami. eachy Choreographic principles lesson each member is always commited and on time, showing positive time- management for each lesson aswell as outside College times, due to self direct rehearsals that we have set up.

Individually I could develop through emotions showing alot more emotions when dancing due to the narrative about our lives being taken away, getting killed by a Tsunami. I also have chosen to be the speach at the end, therefore I need to create an emotional hitting piece for the end section of the dance, were all my family have been killed and I am just left on my own. I feel a poem or quote about Tsunamis would be effective with an emotional piece about my family, that would start with, ' Did we deserve this'. I need to keep upto date with all blogs, noting down all my research, aswell as pictures and any ongoing evidence in lesson and outside. As a group I feel we need to show a clear structure that needs to flow more into each section due to Kat suggesting it looks to choreographed, therefore I have taken this into consideration and need to develop the relationship between my emotions and the musicality. We also need to use much more devices due to only having, cannon, unison, and different transformations, this also includes different dynamics to show each clear element.

The Devices we have used so far are ;

• Contact
• motif Development
• Floor patterns
• Movement Components
• Falling, Turns
• Unison
• Cannon
• repetition of the motif
• Logical Sequences

Logical sequencing is used during the Tsunami piece, due to listening to the music first and then start to choreograph to the beat, due to it being up tempo and fast, there is alot of different movement componenets that  we can all interpret during this section.
Structure is a Narrative about a Tsunami, family of tourists go on holiday and their is a Tsunami.
Explaining a typical day when on holiday as a familu, kids playing on the beach while the Dad waiters on the mum, while shes catching the rays, until suddenly a tsunami appears, only for dad to see this and show the mother, until suddenly it comes in with the tydes very fast. Showing a clear explaination in the dance of before, during and after.

Action plan;
I need to find quotes and start to write an emotional monologue for the ending of the piece.  As a group we need to work effectively on the Climax/ chorus due to this being fast, fierce sharp with lifts, jumps, tricks and alot more fast movements with each individual in the group. I feel our piece is coming along greatly and looks effective, however we all need to start the climax aswell as everyone interpreting their ieas and emotions when dancing the piece.
