tension within it brought about by silence and glancing stares. There was also good proxemics in the way we used the space. This also relates to some of the dance work we’ve been doing also that we can’t just use some of the stage its better if we use all of it if you can.Performing Arts Essay on DanceTo begin with we started to look at different ways of moving and different positions we could use to put across points. This was shown by our dance teacher who also taught us how to warm up properly.For our stimulus we got given a poem. This poem was about the 7 effects of life (I can’t remember what it was called). We read the poem in 3 major different ways to see if we could get different perspectives from it. The first way we read it was once around each then to spilt it up into three main parts and then to rearrange the poem and spilt it into three separate parts. This turned out to be interesting as the 7 main ideas of the poem came through again. And immediately we came up with the idea of having 7 moves within the dance sequence to emphasise this. The problem for us was that at this point was that we had plenty of ideas but we already had chosen the music to go with it. I think this was a big problem. This was because we were trying to get moves to fit to the music instead of getting the better moves and putting them to a more suitable piece of music. How we decided how things might work was that we listened to the music and listened to the main bass line of the piece. This became the overlying concept of our performance, as most of the moves were to do with were the heavy major beats.When it came to figuring out what moves came in and what stayed out we didn’t have enough to take any out. This is how difficult we were finding dance. So when the dance teacher next came in we asked her for some help and she pointed us in a new direction of using freeze frames to the beats. This was almost it bu...
