Session 3

This lesson we started looking at different stimulus we could use to create our duets or solos. Me and my partner bought in a few things to start off. We had a poem called ' Poppies' by Jane Weir, a book of photography from world war 1, a family heirloom book full of memoirs and a poppy. After talking about how the stimulus made us feel and what inspired us the most to create movement we decided on using the 'poppies' poem. 

 

Using this stimulus we created our opening which is inspired by the beginning of the poem. We decided to have this opening sequence extremely slow and facing the audience. We came up with the sequence as synchronizing gestural movements. We showed this to another member of the class and they said they thought it was effective we just needed to make sure we were totally sure of timings and the movements were exact. We then went on to work out timings and on the precision of the movements.
