Title: NME

My dance is set on the way people can be overcome by negative, mixed emotions.

Accompaniment: ‘Clubbed 2 Death’ by Rob. D from the matrix soundtrack

I chose this piece of music because there are different dynamics to it which suited the emotions that I have chosen to dance about.

Description

My dance is broken down into five sections each one showing a different emotion

Section 1: Fear. I start my dance in centre stage sitting on the floor with my knees to my chest, hugging them with my head resting on my knees. (See fig.1)  As the music starts I develop this by adding a lift of my head and look into the audience then look over my right shoulder and then my left. I then turn my body 90o and repeat with my back to the audience to vary it.  I stretch my legs out in front of me and my hands behind me. I swing me left leg past the right side of my body when it returns in front of me I put my weight onto my left hand and push myself up and circle my right hand around my head, turn my body round and push into a handstand as I come down from that I am in an up right stance with my legs slightly open. (See fig 2)

        Section 2: Boredom. This motif is based on this position and I tap my right foot for 8 counts and repeat with my left foot for another 8.  When I have tapped my feet I introduce a short linking phrase where I full turn until I am facing the front left corner of the stage and  take 2 normal steps then scuff my foot plant it and hip dig left and right. Repeat this sequence except turn toward front right corner. I have developed/varied the tapping of my feet and added a large circular motion of the head.
