Choreography

My experience presenting choreography and performing in the 2017 Xperimental Dance Concert was challenging, yet stimulating. I believe choreographing for any type of venue is an intimate and vulnerable task, and this venue enabled the audience to witness every aspect of the pieces in the concert from many diverse angles; which caused many choreographers, including me, to feel a little anxious about presenting our works. Although I felt apprehensive about the intimate space, I recognized that…

Art is comprised of a variety of diverse practices and mediums including visual arts, film, music, dance, theatre and literature . Artists generally utilise a limited area of these mediums, although they are able to draw inspiration from the work of other artists, no matter what form. Drawing inspiration can mean gaining a new idea, extending on an old one, or utilize a skill exhibited. Essentially, when doing this, artists are pursuing to extend their original impression, present it differently…

Moahi had once made their huts out of bamboo, and to this day, the Tahitians still make them as such. They had also kept the tradition of wearing colourful pareus, a printed cotton cloth. Young dancers from time to time will practice their hip-hop choreography in the evening of French Polynesia. Their modern is made of of contemporary Western beats and traditional nasal flutes, drums, and conch shells combined. They have many local dances, festivals, and festivities that include modern Tahitian…

Studio dance gave me my foundation of dance. It taught the basics of dance and of life. That life takes work to achieve your work. That sometimes, you have to put in an effort outside of classes to truly improve. To learn and pick up choreography quickly and to juggle remembering multiple dances for studio and competition. I hit a plateau in my studio training the same year I tried out for my high school’s drill team and made it. From there, my training, technique, and skills improved and…

Dance has been a part of my life since the age of 4. Every time I am onstage with the lights shining on me, I stand with a sense of pride and reflect that through all the long rehearsals I have finally made it. While dance has helped me make friends and stay healthy, it has also helped me learn many valuable life skills which I will apply to my future. Dance has taught me perseverance. When I started at my new dance studio, Royal Dance Academy, I was placed in a class with dancers who were my…

Dance has been a major part of my life since, well since I could walk. It's my passion. I have basically grown up at my dance studio. I stay there everyday after school until late at night. I've learned a lot of great life lessons there. One of the major lessons I have learned is how to be a good leader. I learned specifically the work ethic needed to become a good leader. At my dance studio we have dancers who are the Assistants. The assistants consist of the top 25 students in the studio. I…

After watching the video lectures and reading through the PowerPoint presentations I found that they really helped me have a better understanding of the ballet dance and how it originated. As we learned the very early beginnings of ballet originated in Rome. However, the very first ballet that we know of today happened during the crusades in 1581 and it was called Ballet Comique De La Reine. The main purpose of the dance was to flatter the French and nearby people and to remind people that the…

his confidence. His seemingly flawless and effortless routine again captures the essence of Chaplin’s work, for in their equally talented methods they both create an air of realism and normality within the nearly unattainable perfection of the choreography. As the plot of Singin’ in the Rain incorporates the struggle and initial unwillingness of a film studio to transition to the new age of sound during this silent period, the dance scene serves as a connection to that era while providing the…

Beyoncé includes varies aspects of staging, technology, and choreography in her performances in order to have this effect. In her performance…

effects that fill the action with blood and acrobatics, and Liu Chi-yu's costumes, who presented the different element ninjas in their respective color, with the golden ones definitely standing apart, being impressive as much as kitsch. The action choreography, which is palnned and performed by Cheng Tien Chi who plays Shao is also amazing, using the concept of the ninjas to present a plethora of original battles. Chiang Hsing Lung and Li Yen Hai's editing also helps in that department, with the…
