In our group consisting of me, Tamsin and Olivia we created a contemporary dance trio. the trio was created based on the piece 'Perfect' by Motionhouse. the piece of Motionhouse consisted of dancers being plucked by an unseen hand, and the hand plucking different body parts of the performers.
The move I created first was being pulled by my elbow which lead me into a lunge, I thought this was effective because you can use your elbow as a sharp movement which i did in the piece we created. The second move was being pulled by both my hands however i could've improved it by making the move more dramatic, maybe with a back bend as well as my arms going out infant of me. The last move I created was being pulled by the shoulder and another lune out. I should've changed the lunge out as i had already used it in the first move which would had eliminated the repetition in my three moves.

The class had learnt different motifs the week before which i had not learnt as i was absent. I thought i picked up the motifs very quickly as i hadn't done them as much as others (being thrown in the deep end) but my timing was also very clear and good. I found that because i was trying to remember the motifs that we were gradually structuring together, i had bad extension as i was focusing more on the order of the movement rather than expressing the moves that i knew well. When we were learning Leah's solo bit she had to help me especially as i had to learn a lot of the movement this lesson. We ran over her solo bit around two to three times so it stuck in my head.

during this lesson I created my solo and adapted my crossing over sequence so it fitted into the dance, during the creation of the solo, I pulled apart the other ideas putting them together in different orders using different heights. also during this lesson I felt that my technique was good and my dance had good dynamics and extension to it.

during this lesson we ran through parts of the dance that we weren't to sure on, for me it was my solos as I was having trouble remembering them from week to week. Also I adapted my dance to have different levels as most of my solo would have been on the floor. my technique in this lesson was much better than previous weeks as I could really work on the parts of the dance that I was unsure about.

on this day we did a run through of the piece and again I was struggling to remember my solos, after adapting them some more so they were easier to remember, I kept my use of levels however my parallel position wasn't strong and I was rushing my solos as I also prefer dancing in groups. Also during this rehearsal we decided on the costume we were going to wear which was full black.

This day was basically the same as the week before however at the end we named the piece perception, during this run through I wasn't too pleased with my energy as some of my moves were really lazy and weren't extended.

In this lesson we were working on the trios that we had, i gave plenty of ideas to adapting our dance, also my technique in the exercises were a lot better than before. My coordination and the usual moves the we do are getting a lot easier to move in and out of. We reviewed others pieces as some of the moves were skipped out and rushed mainly because i forgot them.
When we rehearsed our trios again the dance was really good and i felt that it was polished. Also we worked well as a team. We did have a few more ideas that we needed to add to the dance to make the piece longer so next time we will add these ideas in.
