We have decided to perform just a group dance to 'Strange Fruit' rather than an arrangement also. We too have ruled out performing an african movement section. This is due to the fact that we already have a contrast of two emotions and atmospheres between MLK's heartwarming and positive speech, and Billie Holiday's moving but tragic/dark song 'Strange Fruit', in which we will now dance over.
Formations so far:
Formation 1
1. Ashley says 'I have a dream'
2. Music starts, dancers roll outwards to specific directions
Formation 2
1. Dancing to 'Strange Fruit'
2. Random pauses of music(or very low and faded) & dance
3. Ashley continues to read MLK speech - dancers perform gestures & lyrical movement to correlate with speech words
Formation 3
1. Ashley finished 1st part of speech, music & dance continues/fades in
2. Solos & duos are introduced
