Evaluation of "Brunch" dance

The technical elements and requirements that the dance piece “Brunch” has is release technique in contemporary dance such as suspension, use of gravity, the use of falling and also allowing your body to flow with its self-more such as using the core(the centre of your body) when jumping or swinging. One of the concepts of the dance was that the symbol/main theme of the piece was exhaustion and mourning out of boredom. Equally, the stimulus of the dance was that children was tired and upset of how they had to come to school on a Saturday to go to detention. The overall performance that was presented within the dance was very virtuous. For example, I used the correct technique of contemporary dance release and applied it to my movements throughout the dance piece.

One of my strengths was applying leg extensions through the significant use of release technique that is being applied. For example, one way that this was represented was through doing the cartwheel jump. My leg were pointed and extended up in the air. This represents on how I am applying the technical elements of contemporary dance, extensions towards the stimulus and concept of the dance and contemporary technique as a whole

Another strength that I had was timing and musicality. For example, one attitude and representation of how I showed timing was through listening to the music and following the rhythmic structure of the piece throughout. This is one of the main key elements and essentials towards the dance.

The last strength that I recognised was my spacial awareness towards other dancers on the stage. For instance, one aspect of how this was portrayed is through health and safety. By being aware of other dancers while keeping the same formations and timing show dance application and self application as an individual.

One of my weaknesses that were represented through my dance movement is my use of release technique. For example, one aspect of how this was shown was through letting my body go more and not controlling my movements. A way of how I am going to be improving this is through practicing more release exercises such as the swings and suspensions.

Another weakness that I have noticed is my control through movements. For example, one way of how this was represented is through me placing every movements with what arm the degree goes to. The use of release technique is about flow through the movements. One aspect of how I am going to be improving in this is through more improvisation that I self record myself performing throughout. Which would help me with release technique.

The last weakness that I recognised through brunch is my use of character within the piece. For example, one way that this was shown is through not showing enough expression and portrayal of the theme, "exhaustion" and "boredom" throughout my facial features.
