choreography year 1

Personally I am really happy with my final performance, I remembered my choreography and also the facial expressions I had decided I wanted to show for each part. I also felt quite confident while I was dancing and I think this was reflected in my performance- perhaps this was to do with a panel/audience being present. The only thing I would do differently is alter the spacing, in my performance I ran out of space during the last phrase of the first section which I was quite unhappy about as I had never experienced this problem before. Aside from this I am satisfied with the other spacing issues I sorted out due to the feedback from my studio performance as this definitely enhanced my final performance.

In this critique I will be exploring comparisons in movement style, dynamics and intentions of 'Emergence' and the two other pieces I have previously reviewed. I feel that the narrative and influences of this piece are so different to 'Flight Pattern' and 'The Seasons Canon'. This work aims to show the parallels between the "social organization of bees and the hierarchical nature of classical ballet companies"(Scene, 2019) however in contrast to this, 'Flight Pattern' depicts the flight of refugees.
