Dance To The Electro-Soul Song Worry By Jack Garratt

Decent Essays
Cassidy is performing a contemporary dance to the electro-soul song “Worry” by Jack Garratt. I started by looking at the word “worry” and what it means. Worry is defined as to give way to anxiety or unease; allowing one’s mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. It is someone who has lost interest in doing things they normally enjoy, feeling hopeless, their movements are restless.
When listening to this unique song - the tone, emotional lyrics, and beat, I tried to set the frame of mind the artist was in through the costume I created. Most importantly, my goal is to showcase Cassidy’s movements in the costume with comfort and ease. The aim is for the costume to add to the dance, lyrics, and emotions of the song and not distract the audience.
