Title of Dance: Melting Mirror

Solo Choreography

Music: 'Tubular Bells' by Mike Oldfield

Length of composition: 1 min 20 secs

Description of music:

I chose the music because it had a good structure; there were lots of different sections which was good for the structure I used. 'Tubular Bells' complimented the dance idea because it doesn't have any lyrics. The different sections were very clear because of the use of dynamics in the music. As the dance is abstract it was good that the music didn't have any lyrics.

Summary of Dance Idea:

My dance idea is a Movement Concept, to create a dance based upon Asymmetrical and Twirling moves. I had a main asymmetrical phrase which I worked on and added things to, to make the dance.

Dance Description:

In my dance I have a main phrase which is based upon the asymmetric part of my theme, it lasts for 3x8's and it is used three times throughout my dance once reversed and the other two normally. The other sections in my dance are more to do with Twirling and different jumps.
