Choreography Programme Notes
The title of my dance is 'Heartbreak'. it is a duet with Rebecca Zak to a piece of music called 'Cry me a river' composed by Justin Timberlake, Timothy Z Mosely and Scott Storch. My dance is about a relationship that breaks up because one person cheated on the other. The characters are played by Rebecca and I. the man who cheats is played by Rebecca and the woman is played by me. In the beginning of the dance we are together as couple. During the dance we break up and he leaves.
I got inspiration to choreograph this dance from the video and lyrics to 'Cry me a river'. They made me think about how a person feels and reacts to a situation such as this. I incorporated these thoughts into my dance to try and create a realistic effect.
Whilst thinking about my inspiration I also came up with a motif for my dance. Passionate relationships often involve quite a lot of praying. For example, being grateful to god for having your partner, praying for forgiveness or praying to god asking for your partner back. I chose to use this position for my motif as it shows a lot about a persons feelings at different stages in a relationship. As the dance goes on, my motif changes and modifies to show how my character is feeling. This is shown in the pictures below:
