Cry (Second Rehearsal)

Cry (Second Rehearsal)

At the beginning of the dance we added in another movement because the movements that we previously had were too slow and i kept on doing this too fast and then losing my timing. We experimented with undulation of the spine, this was influenced by Katherine Dunham, i need to keep on working on this because i am not using this enough, i need to relax more into the movement so that it fits in with the style more. As well as this i need to work on my balance more, i need to be able to control my ponche more so that i do not fall, in this video i had no control over it and completely lost my balance and co-ordination. Over the next rehearsals i am going to work on this so that i can control the movement completely. I think i can also work on my performance skills - eye-line, projection and facial expressions to show the ideas behind this choreography. This is because this dance has a lot of heavy themes such as oppression and hardship, i think i can use my drama and acting skills from other units to convey this more, i think that once i become more confident with the movements and my technical skills for this performance improve i will be able to work on this more.
