Class rehearsal

My solo dance piece is in a contemporary dance style. This allows me to be more abstract and experimental within the dance to explore the concept and theme of entrapment. Through the gestures and using different body parts on the floor(creating a floor motif). That embodies entrapment and unable to escape out of an box using one of the choreographic devices of repetition on the floor to portray different stages and parts towards entrapment and being restricted in a limited amount of space.

The motif development of entrapment is explored in the first section of the dance in a binary form. That corresponds to the idea of not being able to come out. Creating the allusion of not being able to escape.

The floor section and the standing up section contrasts as both of the sections show and explore coming out of the box and trying to escape and entering into the real world. In contrast, with being restricted and trapped inside a box being able to only reach a certain limit.

In the two sections I wanted to explore a dynamic variation on the floor(the sharp pulses symbolise the immediate reaction of wanting to escape and unravel from entrapment). However, the light hand gestures and reaches symbolise a chance of hope of not being trapped. I am creating the dance and adapting/developing choreography in a binary dance structure.

In the next dance rehearsals I am going to be creating a motif in the third section (B). In a binary dance structure linking it back to the theme of entrapment/hope/
