Trio Choreography-Lesson 3 (Emily)

Today we had another lesson to continue to choreograph our trios. During our lesson we decided that we should re-structure our trio so that we are able to portray our story clearer but also to make sure that we get the highest marks possible by using more solos and canon instead of unison. We sat down as a group and decided that we shouldn't have any unison until the middle of our choreography as that we are able to establish each of us as a character. So we find it easier to show characters, we decided that we would all be the same girl but different ages within childhood instead of three different girls. Due to us all being the same girl, we decided that we would all wear black dresses,wear a braids and a red ribbon to show that we are all the same girl but also to show that we are a child. 

After deciding on characters, we counted out how many counts of 8 were in the music up until the music starts to change and get louder. We did this so it is easier for us to structure our choreography but when we did this we found our stimulus was difficult to portray so we changed it. Our stimulus now means letting go of childhood and innocence as the balloon represents innocence and as the choreography goes on we dance with the balloon less to show that we are letting go of innocence. After changing the stimulus so it is easier to understand, we managed to create sections to 4 counts of 8 sections to help us structure our choreography. We also drew a picture of one of our sections so it was easier for us to visualise. 

After creating a structure, our choreography starts with me and Abigail already on stage as Caitlin walks past us to get to the balloon in the bottom corner. Caitlin will then dance with the balloon,alone, for 4 counts of 8 before we joins the diagonal line. We will then use our passing of the balloon choreography from our last lesson before passing the balloon back into the middle of the stage. We will then circle the balloon with low movements before each of us doing a solo infront of the balloon. Once we have choreographed this,we will use some unison.
