Another one bites the dust (first rehearsal)

In this lesson we started to choreograph for another one bites the dust, even though Bryleah had some initial ideas we were all able to contribute, which allowed us to put together the piece well. The yuppies are the ensemble and killer queen is singing the lead. We started in two lines either side of killer queen and marching to the beat of the music, this is because we are her servants and marching symbolises that she is royalty. she has a lot of power over us and therefore we show this by us doing anything she says and her having comp,late power over everyone. This is shown again when me and Emily take Khashoggi, killer queen then pushes us down and we all bow to her. The first time we did this we were all doing the same movement in unison, however we developed this by changing it to every other person going the same movement, so now it is alternate and looked much more developed. We then take him back and in pairs mirror three positions that would intimidate him, each pair changes, using different levels and directions, this was created by trying out different things in the mirror to see how things could be improved or needed to change to create the best tablo. Because of the contrast of these two movements, we are telling the audience that the yuppies do whatever the queen says because they are scared of her, this emphasises the power of her to the audience. The dance ends with the yuppies marching around the stage with killer queen gradually killing each of us, after running this a few times someone came up with the idea of having a twitch on the beat of the music, this worked really well, as everyone was in perfect time and it is something that i don't think audience will be expecting but it worked really well.
