Trio Choreography Lesson 6 (Caitlin)

Today we had our sixth choreography lesson and this was one of our final lessons before we are assessed on our final choreography. We entered the studio with our minds set on what we needed to do this lesson. By the end of this lesson we planned to finish our choreography to ensure that we had enough time to clean our choreography before we were assessed. As a group, we spoke outside of our lessons and created a diagram for one of the sections in our choreography so that we had ideas already set to quicken up the choreography process. We listened to our cut music before we started to choreography to make sure that the movements we were about to choreography were in time with the final section of music.

We started to choreograph from the end of our unison section. From this section I travel towards the bottom right corner with the balloon. I travel away from Abigail and Emily as I still have my childhood innocence. Once I have finished travelling, Abigail and Emily step away from me however they use an arm movement that shows that they want me to join them. They then reach towards to which shows that they want me to join them and leave my childhood innocence (the balloon) behind just like they did. Once they have finished their movement,I look towards them, leave the balloon and do a travelling movement to join them in the line,as shown in our diagram. This shows that I have finally left my childhood innocence and joined the other dancers. From here, we do two arabesques at different heights each time away from the balloon. We then look towards the balloon in canon.

We then decided to develop the motif we used to circle the balloon near the beginning of the piece. This time we danced this motif in retrograde to show that the storyline has changed and to make the choreography more interesting. Once we have finished this motif, we all walk towards the bottom left corner and stop. In canon, Abigail and Emily look towards the balloon and walk off before I look at the balloon and exit as well. I look at the balloon last as I am the last person to leave the balloon behind. As our choreography is now finished, we plan to clean our choreography in our final lesson before our assessment.
