Choreographing a duo
Which era of dance I might focus my duet on?why?
There are many eras of dance I would like to do but ,the main on I'd like to focus on is 1970's. The reason for that is because I am inspired by the music witch creates me to get a grove on and there are so,e great clips on YouTube 1970's reminds me of disco. I might also focus on the 1990's because I like the movements and also the "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" theme song inspires me and makes me think of the 1990s also I think it would be fun to add in the Carlton dance.

What dynamics and eras did I demonstrate today?
Today in class we demonstrated eras of dance these were 1920s and 1970s. We responded to a picture what was given to us, we created a tableaux from it and then developed it into a motif we used dynamics such as ; force flow speed
We was given a photo of a man and a women doing charleston dance by the photo we got the idea that it was a cheesy fun dance. By using the picture we created a tableaux. We used a lot of mirroring and facial expressions. With this picture we used dynamics to create movements from the tableaux. We mainly used force witch was light and speed witch was fast we then developed the motif and this was by us changing floor patterns and different directions but going back to were we first started of by using structures this was a ABA.

How are my ideas developing for my duo?
My ideas are developing for my duo by using devices of dance such as;- Cannon
- Unison
- having a climax in the dance ( cliff hanger)
- Stillness creating a tablque
- Logical sequencing - how your body wants to move
- Repetition of movements
- We are thinking about having one movement we develop during the dance and repeating it throughout the dance. ( motif)
We have been doing workshops in class to help us with our duet we have taken the tablque workshop and are going to create one using facial expressions for the chacater we are role playing and how they felt being a dancer in the 90's.
