In this lesson, we used a music stimuli to create a dance piece. The music my group was 'Brother' by 'Matt Corby'. As seen in the title, our dance was about sibling relationships, between brothers and sisters etc.
We wanted to show the highs and lows of the relationships, the rivalries and also the bonds/connections. The song starts very upbeat and fast paced, in which I had the idea of running around the space through each other, dodging and spinning around one another. I was attempting to show the chaotic and manic environment of siblings playfighting, and simply just a bunch of children having fun.
We then go into pairs, performing slow contact movement to reflect the loving times shared between them. Me and Danni used an action of wrapping arms around the other to signify the care and protective nature of brothers and sisters.
In the middle section, we created 2 lines parallel to each other, and pass through the gaps, mirroring the person opposite's actions. This portrays how siblings often imitate the others behaviour.
In one part of the piece, we are in a tight formation, in which we perform actions in unison. This symbolises the strength and power of a connection, an unbreakable bond.

I think we interpreted the music stimulus well and applied appropriate movement to it. We considered effective ideas and delivered the context of the piece well. To improve, we could of worked on the timing of the last section and emphasised our movement a bit more.
