WAPA Rhiannon LOTR Choreo 22 11 2013

This is the next draft of my dance, I will changing the dwarf section dramatically, but so far I am pretty happy with the rest.

Recently I have choreogrpahed more of my dance, looking at the pice of music 'The Fellowship', the movement is developed from the idea of joining/pulling together, being strong and helping the characters of the story helping each other to get through the journey. I have also choreographed the section to 'Misty Mountains' based on the character of dwarves, it is all very straight and sharp this is influenced my the shape of their settings and where they live. The next piece of music is 'Isenguard' this is based upon the orcs so is ment to come across as quite odd and unplaced, while trying to be a scary character. And the final piece of music is 'Rohan' here I have represented the human race in the story of 'Lord of the Rings' showing strength and weakness, as it will go into Pippin's song, 'The edge of Night' connecting to the clip from the film which I will play behind me.

I have also decided to use this clip at the beginning of my dance, to add interest to the piece but also so I don't have to do as much movement so that I can pace myself. I will show this untill 2:18 and then I will begin the slide show.

Pippin's Song (The Edge of Night) HD with Subtitles

I have been looking for a clip from one of the films to react with as past of my dance, I have chosen this one I was going to use the song but looking at it I have decided that I like the actions of the steward, the emotion that is portrayed by Pippin and the positions of the orcs. Also I can use the charging of the humans to shape this part of the dance.

Today I have also worked on my choreography, here is the improvement to the piece of music 'The Shire' it is based on the hobbits...

...I have introduced some English folk movement as I think it shows the character better while still keeping some round movement and shapes as the setting/scenery they live in!

Today I have started collecting images to go on my slideshow as a rought first draft, I hope to get better quality pictures for the final thing...

...the majority of these images are for the prologue ass I do not do a lot of movement, it is aimed for the audience to get the beginning storyline, enjoy the images and it also means that I can pace myself for this long solo performance.

Here is the first draft of the first 5ish minuets of my choreography, it includes: a prologue (introducing the story and the type of movement some of the different characters may have); a small battle section; a piece created with stimulus of a hobbit (to the music 'The Shire') and some elf movement at the end.

I haven't posted on here for a while but I have been working!!
I've been getting all my music together, I now have all of the music that I will use for my performance and have edited some of it.
I have also choreographed quite a bit of movement in particular the prologue trying to tell a story through gesture and trying to introduce different characters movement, e.g elves, dwarves and men. I have also made some movement to the piece of music 'the Shire' using round arms as the hobbits front doors are circular.
