5.2.1 Explain how you used dance elements and/or choreographic structures to communicate the theme/intention of your choreography.
Answer
In my dance work titled 'Every Day is Earth Day', I utilized elements such as Space and Canon. The performance space reflects South African beaches affected by plastic pollution. For example, the dancers run in different directions to symbolize the scattering of plastic waste, encapsulating the urgency of environmental awareness.
Step 7
5.2.2 Your choreography PAT required you to plan and create a dance work. Develop a plan that shows your approach to the process of choreographing.
Answer
Step 1: Research/Investigation
I started with extensive research on environmental issues and movements related to plastic pollution. This informed the narrative I wanted to portray in my dance.
Step 2: Improvisation
I gathered my dancers to experiment using the researched material. I encouraged them to express feelings through their movements, engaging with the theme of the choreography.
Step 3: Selection of Performance Space
I chose a beach location for its strong ties to my theme. This allowed for a genuine expression of movement in relation to the space we were representing.
Step 4: Selection of Music/Accompaniment
I will incorporate sounds of the ocean and recorded messages about plastic waste. This auditory element will further enhance the thematic connections in the choreography.
Step 5: Selecting Production Elements
After finalizing the space and understanding the movements, I will focus on costumes that reflect the colors of nature and pollution to visually enhance the performance.
Step 6: Improvisation
As the final stage, I will reconvene with the dancers for a final improvisation session, allowing them to integrate each part into a cohesive performance, ensuring the message is clear and impactful.
