PMD1/2/4 Generating Material , Dance scene VDU

http://youtu.be/qDub9LaXaII


This video above looks at a dance scene that Charlotte, Megan and Bella have created for the performance.
This scene incorporates grotesque like movement and
elements from the masquerade scene for instance the curtseying. This video also shows us discussing how we would develop the material ourselves.

One development I suggested to add in was to make the performance more grotesque. In order to achieve this we said to add in a soundscape during the performance to emphasis the concept of disease and contagion. The dancers would add in coughs, gags, sneezes and other symptoms of illness.

Other developments made by the rest of the cast were to incorporate more marking the moment more to emphasis certain movements.

Additionally Bella wanted to add in more movement in unison so that the piece flows more and moments in which the group come together would be effective and less disjointed.

This video shows the development of our dance scene. The scene involves Bella, Charlotte and Megan. In the video you can see the concept of contagion more evident through a symptom structure created shown below.

The theme of disease is shown through each movement representing a different concept:

• Scratching
• Dropping (stomach cramp)
• Vomiting
• Coughing
