1. Who was/were the dancer or dancers involved? [Note: you don’t need to list all of the names if it’s a large dance company.] Who was the choreographer?
The dancers were Alivia Schaffer, Dwayne Scheuneman, Julie Crothers, and James Brown. The choreographers were Maurya Kerr, Alex Ketley, and Bobbi Jene Smith.
2. If this was a series of shorter works, choose two of the works you saw. Describe the costuming and, if appropriate, any story/plot. Was there a particular meaning implied? If the work(s) was/were associated with music, …show more content…
The plot of the dance was to show how everyone has the experiences and because of that people will react to situations differently. I believe the meaning was to show us that people can overcome anything, but some people will do it differently than others. The music shifted between the intermissions. The first part it was all instruments, then the second half the music was all techno. I think the dancers associated some of their movements with the music, but not always.
3. Briefly describe other elements of the work(s): the form, movement, style, and other elements we’ve discussed in class. (That is, be sure to use the terminology we’ve laid out for describing dance.) If you are reviewing two works, compare them.
The form was definitely modern dance. I know this because they touched the floor a lot and they had a lot of gestures that had wasted motion in it. The movement of the dance was kind of all of the place. Sometimes the dancers would be on the ground making movements from there and other times they would be running straight through the area they were performing. The actors used pantomime to express the story and what was
