Todays class we needed to really work on our choreography due to having time off due to Easter Holidays. Therefore we knew were we was with the choreography but due to the amount of time off we needed to recap on each section.
Firstly I felt that the music was a big issue due to starting to put each section into the structure, I was finding this hard due to having to stop each section to change over the music. Therefore we all sat down and worked out all the counts for the music, this took alot of concerntration, intellectually to make sure this was secure and great time- management. Then we went to jim with the layout of what we wanted, the outcome for the music was positive, therefore I felt there was no longer a barrier stopping us choreographing.
The main outcome for today was to get the music complete, however there is one piece of music that we still needed to choreograph too, we needeed to find a voice clip saying ' breaking news' from the news. However due to finding it so hard to find one we came to a conclusion that It may be easier to find an Actor that will say a voice clips instead, dramatically.
The main areas that we recapped today was the start, due to this all beinig in timeing with each other, so we needed to make sure everyone knew the choreography due to some individuals relying on each other. I feel that soon when the choreography is complete we need to start dancing away from the mirrors due to relying on them to much and I feel this is showing in the piece, everyone needs to commit and choreograph to the piece, yet this shows who has though/ choreographed which parts due to the stablism and confidents when dancing each section.
After we recapped, we now have got half way and need to start to think about the climax due to this being the main section of when the Tsunami waves come to shore, I feel this section needs to be thrilling with a drenalin, the dynamics needed to be fierce with alot of force, powerful, fast, energetic with lifts, jumps, everything going on to see the change in dynamics and emotions so the audience will understand what is happening for this section.
Due to transformations, Honor is going to die first from the Tsunami, following Billie, then dramatically Rob at the end, leaving myself, this will be very emotional and sad ending.
Feedback; when the class watched our piece, they made a few comments that we need to interpret and change, the first comment was the House in one section 1x8 the movement is to high up, not house material, and it looks when watching everyone is trying to remember the piece and not dancing this, therefore we need to change this to show Tsunami based with alot of character, each person has a character, mine is a Mother so I need to create my character of a mother that will do anything for her family/ children, therefore will protect or even die for them.
Another peer feedback was to make sure that on sections expecially the first section, we need to hug on a diagonal so that no one is getting covered, and that the audience can clearly see what each individual is performing physcially.
Next lesson;
Music all cut ready to then start the climax, I feel the climax needs to be started next week and nearly finished due to not having alot of time left.
Alternatively take all the feedback into concideration and change the choreography to make the piece more effectively and so that the peers can see that we have considered their points when showing the development of choreography for next week.
Today I feel that the barrier has now been nocked down as for the past few weeks, the development of the choreography has not positiively increased it has stayed the same negatively, and now there is a few weeks until the show, and I feel if everyone interprets their ideas, as well as use rehearsals effectively then the piece will look amazing and I would love for it to be in the show.
