Choreography

Within a performance: Choreography, Communication, Perception, and Interpretation. Choreography Every single movement in a performance play a significant role on the Dance as a whole. As stated in “Evolution of Music, Dance, and Drama” “Dance moves or Dance steps are the building blocks of many dances” (Dance moves or Dance steps 128) Is is the basic unit of dance as Do Re Mi are the fundamental notes to a song. Upon contemplation of which aspect is specifically to be analyzed within the performance of Ballet Manila, Choreography proceeded to arise upon the center stage of focus, as choreography is exactly what is being shown by the artists on stage. Choreography according to the “Cambridge American English Dictionary” is “the movements…

I fell in love with creating movement and teaching others, from then on I have been creating works and working with younger dancers. I have attended the Glenda Brown Choreography Intensive, a project that Mrs. Hunter recommended for me, for the past two years and will be returning for a third year as a full time choreographer on a full scholarship. My movement discovery has been furthered at Booker T. Washington through other composition classes and the required senior project. With Mr. Devine…

As I came to learn through the process of choreographing my own dance, setting dance choreography can be a daunting task no matter how experienced you may be. That is why before beginning my project I purchased a file which contained materials associated with personal project so that I knew I was following guidelines. In this file I also placed my planner which contained all upcoming deadlines so that I could manage my time accordingly, which helped prevent any unnecessary stress (Appendix A,…

question was: What are the responsibilities required to be a dance captain, and how can choreography efficiently be taught? The first thing I did was collaborate with the director. This gave me an understanding of what her vision was for choreography and what my duties. She gave me the freedom to create the big Hand Jive dance number. She also gave me a schedule of what I had to work on for each day. While she was away working with certain cast members, I was in charge of rehearsing other…

Bob Fosse, a jazz director and choreographer, is lauded for his unique artistry of choreography. During the 1950s-1970s, Broadway musicals and films were very popular. Fosse’s work gained a lot of popularity because of the different approach he took on jazz dance. He soon became one of the most notable choreographers of his time. His work has forever changed the way audiences perceive dance, making his work historically relevant and unique. Bob Fosse was born on June 23, 1927 in…

Modern Dance Class I went to observe the modern dance class on a thursday morning. This class was split into six different groups of at least 5 people in each. They were all taught a choreography a couple of days before and everything had to be memorized by the time it was their turn to dance. The class as a whole is doing well in communicating and in waiting for each other as they dance. These groups were randomly chosen and they all had to work together to make the choreography look nice,…

Blom and Chaplin now need to instruct the dancer on how they can structure their movements into an ordered piece of choreography that communicates their overarching concept to the audience. They explain this process, which they describe as phrasing, by relating the desired framework for the phrase to that framework of prose. Specifically, they create mappings between the progression of a plot to the chronological progression of the movement within a phrase. Blom and Chaplin stress that a…

life, as Brittany Miller, Michaela Minock, and Katie Crouch set the stage to 1944, the start of Barjche. The show continued on with eighteen total pieces, some telling major historical moments in the past 70 years. The performance ended with an excerpt from Joe Goode’s “The Rambler”. The choreography for this show was to be themed on modern, and I believe it was more modern jazz than modern ballet. The first piece that caught my eye was the Meprobamate choreographed by Abby Hinchley, I…

In class we have been discussing tools for choreography such as juxtaposition, counter point, mirroring, cannon, and many others. A piece that I found called “Framed” by M&N Dance Company displays a lot of these different tools that we have learned about these past couple of weeks. This piece was beautifully crafted and since it was a duet I believe it was very difficult to provide as much variety as they did in this piece. One of the first tools they utilized was mirroring. This was easy to…
