In this lesson we worked in pairs to create a duet that had to have Cunningham's technique in it. I worked with Chloe and our theme was the arguement stage of a relationship where you feel like your at a constant battle and you have to keep fighting. The routine had to include a twist, a tilt, a curve and an arch. By doing this types of routine we inprove our back flexiblity and control. This was the first draft of our dance so it's good to recorded it as it makes it easier to improve it.
Me and Chloe come on at 0.31. At the moment our routine looks more stage movement than a dance so therefore this wil be a first improvement! We start with me in an upper back curve at 0.32 my arch IT is done well although I need to lift up and over more. At 0.34 Chloe's arm extention is good as it is followed right through to the finger tips. With this dance as at the moment it does tell the story as it is just basic stage movements so we need to be careful not to lose the story when making it more of a dance routine. At 0.35 it is clear Chloe is in control of the dance and I am the weaker character. At 0.41 both mine and Chloe's alignment need to be better; we need more tension in our legs and they need to be higher, if we took turns to extened our legs then we could lean into eachother therefore making the lift bigger. At 0.45 my turn needs to be more controled, to do this I need to spot. At 0.49 both mine and Chloe's tension is good as she pushing me to the floor and brings herself up. At 0.49 my tension is lost and the move looks weak to improve this we could maybe place a jump in its place so i jump then fall. At 0.53 we finish however I think we need a still image to show this better.
In this rotutine we need to improve our tension and make the routine more of a dance.
Targets:
- Add more to the routine to make it more of a dance
- Improve our tension throughout
- Have a finish.
