Devising with Charlee

In Lesson today we were told to bring stimulus for a devising piece. We were all put into a group and told that these items would be the stimulus for a movement piece. I was paired with:Chloe,Anna and Jay.

I brought: a necklace; Jay brought boxing gloves; Anna brought a key ring and Chloe brought dancing shoes.

Our story tells the tale of how two professional dancers can get somewhere even further and stronger by embracing those who aren’t as strong and experienced as them.

The falls and lifts are all representations of being beaten down in a rehearsal to then be brought up and embraced, the key with this piece was clear contact and emotive differences between the characters. Chloe and Anna being more fluid and dancer like while me and Jay were slightly nervous.
