Today we continued with 'La Vie Boheme', adding more movement. With our partners, we added onto our duo phrase, using 3 given contact positions to incorporate into the dance.

Balance by pulling against each other

Leaning support

Pushing against each other

We then further developed our movement using some choreographic devices including canon/unison, repetition, levels etc. For example, Kim crouches and slides towards me whilst I dance towards her (levels), then joining me as we (unison) body ripple. Another example is when we (repeat) a section of the original phrase, but this time I am sitting down on a chair and Kim is standing directly behind me (levels) when performing this.

When we performed this, what went well was our timing of the movement and the fluid, continuous structure of it. We also remembered to use our facial expressions and high energy throughout our whole phrase. However, at the end of our dance, we still had time left before the song ended. To improve, we sould improvise movement to fill in the gaps instead of standing around.
