In today's lesson, we revisited the song 'Rent' where we structured the dance phrases more and added in more sequences. In duets, we created a short set of movements to perform on stage in a specific order. Me and Kim's actions included us running in from opposite sides of the stage, Kim then sliding down as I jump over her. This happens in a fast motion to show the chaotic atmosphere of this section, as each pair have to display a form of attack. We then join back up and bump our chests together, and then exit stage left. We could possibly exit opposite sides to further show our collision between one another.
I feel our choice of movement was effective as it showed the erratic mood of all the characters, which is also supported by the instrumental section of 'Rent'.
To improve, we could space out more as our movement is performed only in centrestage which is always in a linear fashion. Although our actions reinforce the context, our dynamics could also be stronger which will enhance the moves more. The dynamics should be more rough rather than neat, portraying the violent nature. We could add more actions as ours is fairly short, ensuring it is as realistic as possible. Dance actions that aren't associated with the theme e.g. an arabesque would not be suitable or make sense in the phrase. Using more physical theatre in this would be more effective.
Our gang characteristics could be stronger incorporated within the movement too, maintaining our body language etc.
