To generate ideas for my 'Transformation' project, I wanted to add some personal experience to my movement piece, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to show my journey of my experiences at University so far. There's been so many ups and downs, and it would be an easy way of showing this comparison. Using levels to show the highs and lows, and using theatrical practice to display the emotion. These movements are displaying my emotions at the start of this course, like I was hitting a wall and finding it hard to break through mentally, and how I manage to break free. This movement was created when exploring with the score of 'battling with myself''. These are just sneak peeks of the performance I've done so far, any feedback?

I feel confident when exploring with the floor more, but i did notice I was flitting in and out of focus. I want to work with letting myself 'give in to the floor more', as Kirsty puts it, and i agree with her to an extent. I do notice my head leaves the floor at times when it could stay perfectly happy on the floor. Andrea confirmed today that moving through the feet was heel to toe. This feels a really unnatural way for me to move. From the previous term, I've noticed massive improvements. These are videos of the same routine, work in progress. BEFORE AFTER My fluidity has improved dramatically from the start of term. I'm noticing alot of moments in my 'After'  routine where moves could be more articulated, rather than just performed for the sake of it. I think I was performing at a comfortable speed for me, performing with momentum. It could be argued that it was maybe too fast in places. To work on the aesthetics of how the moves are...

This phrase was fresh in my memory from learning it in the morning. This is a video of me just working through it, working out the flow of movements
