In this lesson we looked at chorus 4: Eros, for this chorus we wanted to use more contemporary dance movement, this so that some of the choruses have something different to them, for example we have this one and chorus one where we use body percussion. As well as this, it gives us a chance to slightly modernise the text without straying away from the original concept. We split the chorus into three sections that overlap each other, Me, Rosie and Emily took one section each and started to choreograph appropriate movements that would compliment the text.
When choreographing this initially I found it hard to come up with movement material, however I looked at the lines and started to think of movements that described the words. For example for the line "The gods and man grow mad" we brush our hands through our hair and fall to the floor. As well as this for the line "Run and try to hide" we all split away from each other and walk away. Some movements and ideas that we tried didn't work, so we had to adapt and develop them so that they would fit better. I think overall in the time that we were given to choreograph this section we came up with good movements that flowed well with the text.
