This lesson involved us composing the final product of our movement piece- putting together every pairs' own movement and incorporating them into our main task. As we are focusing on Dynamics in this lesson it is essential that we have a full understanding of what we are actually creating. To make it easier for us to understand our director developed a sheet with key terms that branched off with other key terms- in pairs we had to come up with what movement suited what key term. We collected our ideas in and this is the result.
Flow:
Free
It was decided that the move where we swing our arms is an example of a free movement in dynamics- I have to agree with this as your arms move based solely on the direction your body is moving, therefore your arms loose and free to move in the motion your body is moving
Bound
The movement we picked for bound was the matrix, mine and Alice's action. The move is continuous and sustained as we all move as one.
Weight:
Firm
Me and Alice were given the key word of weight. We decided that a firm movement was the hacker action. This type of movement in my opinion is a percussive movement- it is very quick and sudden making it impactful.
Light
An example of a light movement in our piece is the matrix. The movement is an example of a sustained action, it is continuous and ongoing.
Space:
Direct
One example of a direct movement was the roll we completed, the suspend movement before this allowed us to get into the position for this move.
Flexible
In the clip you will find that an example of a flexible move was sustained matrix, it allowed our bodies to move in an abnormal way.
Time:
Sudden
The percussive movement, also known as the hacka, was picked as an example of a sudden movement, i think this movement could also be described as shake movement- it does give a short burst of energy in the 3 times we move. #
Sustained
Again, the matrix was picked as an example for a sustained movement.
Effort:
Flick
The move here we flick our legs to the side is an example of a flick movement, in terms of dynamics this could be classed as a percussive as it is quick and sudden movement however we are planning on making this slow motion so perhaps it may not fit into this category.
Slash
An example of a slash movement in our piece would be when we rapidly raise our arms reaching up. This movement almost 'slashes' the air above us. In terms of dynamics this movement would be classed as a swing movement- it starts and finishes with an impulse.
Punch
Although not stated on the sheet an example of a punch movement would be when we have 3 vicious movements, although not all of them are 'punches' they still give the same effect whether we a punching with a fist or weapon in our hands. In dynamics this would be considered as sustained movements as all 3 are continous and ongoing one after another.
After discussing these key words and what moves would fit under each sub-heading we decided to make a list of our moves including the ones we created in pairs to try and convey a story. The final product is what can be seen in the video clip at the beginning of this blog.
