In Mondays lesson, we got split into four groups. Each group had a different theme or story. In my group is Hannah, Callie, Charlotte and Laqwarn. Our dance is based on the video 'Alice'. It shows how a girls life has been changed by war. In our first routine, we picked three words: 'Safe' 'Warm' and 'Comfort' to base our motif on. These words are how Alice feels before war. The war in some ways forces her to grow up and she sees things an adult would find hard to cope with, let alone an 8 year old. However, even in our war piece we need to show that they are still children, and no matter what they do, they still play. In our dance we could change the dynamics each time something new gets destroyed, for example: school, home and friends. In our before war dance, we need to show being safe. We could do this by staying close together and the movements having fluidity. In the war dance, we could be further apart and make the dynamics stronger. At the end of our last routine, we need to have an uplifting feel to show there is still hope. We could show this by the music change and elevation in the movements.
