The second lesson of the week we began to look at all the various performance possibilities we could come up with using our generated movement. In the video below you can see that we still include the "hip lifts" and "rocks" but this time we've included the table into the space, to enhance the performance. By using these collection of props same as Frantic we are able to generate a stylized piece inspired by their company. In addition it allows us to combine 2 unique motifs as well as the company generated chair motif all into one performance. Also the performance was solely improvised, no sequence was scheduled in, this meant each performance would be slightly different making it engaging, unique and also surprising. Of which being comments Frantic's work has received by many critics.
From watching the video you can see the progress we made collectively. Everyone is more confident as the movement is in our muscle memory, and due to previous trust exercises by Frantic we were confident in each other allowing us to eliminate external stimuli of embarrassment or fear allowing us to progress together.
We took a lot more risks in the movement in improvisation and non verbal communication which helped enhance the performance and add to the intensity.
In the second portion of the video we had unfocused post show discussion rehearsal technique in our duets. We went over our motifs and performed it to seek out improvements
Feedback we received from Matthew and Megan, was to rehearse the ending sequence of our table duets. As you can see we were unsure as to the next action and dynamics, so a duel rehearsal time will need to be scheduled to allow us to practice more and get the movement into our muscle memory so that it flows better.
The feedback I gave to Matthew and Megan was to have sharper dynamics. There actions are diverse and unique yet some limp dynamics hinder the intensity they've built up.
