peer analysis

Today I took warm up I felt that I was prepared and because I knew the styles we were going to be performing I made sure that I warmed up the arms, hips and legs incredibly due to performing Milonga and Bollywood.
I felt I was prepared I already had a song so there was no time wasted, I also got everyone involved physically by making it alot more fun and responding to individuals.
The warm up was realistically and was for 7 minutes and I felt this was a reasonable time and was pleased with how everyone interacted and did the warm up, I tried to make it different and run but making sure everyone goes to their fullest potential. 
I liked taking charge and felt that everyone responded to my instructions.

The devices I have clearly used in my group choreography are ;
Narrative due to our performing being about elements we have thought about natural disasters as well as linking this directly to Earth and Water aswell. 


The area's that need to be developed are ; thinking about what music we will be using for the piece to help show a clear understanding of the structure. 

I am going to resond to this by,
Picking 2 songs of my choice that I feel are in connection with Tsunami. Then sitting down listening to all my groups ideas and songs to see which one will be the most effective.

Bio

Opal , honour , rob & Billie 

Our group choreography contains a narrative of ' natural disasters, we respond to his by explaining a story of a family go on holiday abroad were a tsunami approaches, during this disaster , the children and father sadly die from the tsunami, and the mum is just left, the choreography will show a clear understanding of the story aswell as fierce dynamics and musicality you would never of thought out, the piece contains a lot of emotions, sharp dynamics and a drenalin lifting you of your seats while watching the piece.

1st April

Today was a successful day we warmed up outside this was great due to individuals watching us and therefore I felt that I was working harder physically as well as more stronger presentation.

We then had a lesson with Chloe she interprerted a new word called '' which meant backwards. The exercise was to pick a section of the choreography and dance it backwards and then the original choreography way. 
This helped a lot for movement memory as well as movement development at the start I felt I struggled, but when I got Chloe to explain again I felt I fully understood this, each individuals came round the class to watch us, this helped as they gave us positive feedback as well as critism one of the main criticisms was that we needed to interpret emotions throughout the whole piece due to at the moment looking like we are just trying to remember the choreography.

Team work is not a problem in our group, we all share ideas and communicate strongly as a group, therefore I feel that the choreography is naturally developing through a positive time- management. After todays class i feel that it really helped and from this small exercise it has created another 2x count of 8 for our group choreography. Therefore from today,we have now finally got into place the start, 4x of 8 for the climax were we now have an add on of choreography from today, I  am feeling positive with this choreography due to it performing nicely, now we all need to think realistically and work around each other for extra rehearsals and to finish the climax and start the ending due to already having a structure of what we are physically doing for the ending, as there is not a lot of time left.

Alternatively, from the exercise we have taken the 2 lots of 8 from the start and re arranged the movement, so that we start with the original choreography and then rewind, so that we then perform it backwards without realising this realistically works with our piece, due to it being a narrative of ' Tsunami'. Therefore the choreography and musicality aswell as the structure all works nicely in relation with each one.

From todays lesson even though everyone was tired, we did not let this affect us, and all worked efficently with each other, getting a lot of choreography done, you can really see a difference from when we started the main aspect of areas we need to fully develop now is; getting the music completely cut, so that we do not need to keep changing songs throughout performing as this makes it look un organised an sloppy, also I need to create my monologue for the ending and rehearse this ready to add into the choreography. I feel the piece will be rehearsed and ready feeling positive to perform to my peers.
