What went well and Even better if.
Today I created my 16 count solo phrase for the piece. The movements I've chosen are quite simple however, this gives me some room for development during the tech run tomorrow. I have some hand gestures seen in the piece previously but have changed the levels and body positions. I will also start exploring the dynamics as its all quite soft and I need a contrast of dynamics. This contrast will make it more exciting for the audience and the sharp dynamics will also help portray the theme. I need to also work on my facial expression and performance energy. As Nathan and Maddy wasn't in lesson, I couldn't go through either duet however, tomorrow we will go through a refine what we're doing and practice with full energy. After going through it with Kat today I feel more confident in the beginning phrase as I now know how and where my hands should be and the dynamics of each movement. My targets for before performance tomorrow would be to practice and refine my duet with Nathan and go through my duet with Maddy. The main element that needs work is charcterisation. From peer and teacher feedback, we found out our story line wasn't very clear so I have to work on my facial expression and how i portray the main elements of the piece - anger, agitation, frustration, etc. When we done a tech run, the main stage was narrower than the dance studio so we had to re-place some parts, change formation and try to be more aware spatially of everyone. Next time, we should try to practice in the theatre more.
