Tomorrow Dance (2nd rehearsal)
Following our last rehearsal me and Paige worked together to choreograph more of this dance. Whilst doing this we tried out different things that we thought would work, we did this without the music at first. Some things, for example, we tried a step-ball-change and after fitting it with the rest of the dance we decided that it didn't work. As a result of this we changed it to just a step, we found that this flowed with the last movement better.
After choreographing eight counts of eight, we tied it with the music. Once dancing to the music some of the counts changed, this was to make sure that the movements went well with the song. This is important so that when Emily (Fizzy) sings in the performance both the song and the dance will be in time with each other.
From this rehearsal we set targets for next time, these included:
- Finish the choreography - This is important so that we can do full run throughs with Emily. As well as this we can concentrate on on perfecting particular movements instead of worrying about the choreography not being finished.
- Eye-line and characterisation - Personally i feel that i need to add more characterisation into this dance performance. This is because the song that we are dancing to had a sad theme and this needs to be reflected on during the dance. To improve on this i need to work on my facial expressions as well as lifting up my eye-line. This is because i noticed that throughout a lot of the dance i was looking down.
- Extension - We have now included more movements that require using more extension. It is important that i work on this so that each movement looks fully completed instead of half finished.
lovely so far, you have really clear targets which is great.
