Dance Lesson 3

Today we recapped our phrases for the 'Into the Woods' song section. We then created a mind map for a certain dance scene within the whole musical, our group focusing on the Witch and Rapunzel scene. Between us we discussed what dynamics, actions and even props could be used to suit the mood/atmosphere of the scene. We used this to prepare for when we start to construct a dance for each of the scenes.




For black history month, our group is performing a monologue as well as a dance piece. Our dance reflects the emotions of the african-americans who were subject to racism, torture, slave labour etc. This can help with my need for improving my characterisation as i have to portray the discriminated minority.

As we have to maintain a strong persona for this performance, these skills will help contribute to our musical production. As we may be dancing and singing especially, we need to learn how to not lose focus of our characters and feed it into our movement, such as our use of body language whilst dancing.
