Rehearsal 2

Rehearsal 2 - 25th February

The second rehearsal started with a look at Steven's comments about the first rehearsal.  We decided to play with the possibility for external setpieces, working with the material that we had already created.

Dance-Making Tasks:

Mirror Trio

Sarah P and Christa worked with Sarah J to extend their duets into a trio made in front of the mirror.  They worked with the illusion of connection with the image in the mirror given by touching the mirror.  They also brought in elements of how they felt about their own reflections.  Sarah P disliked her reflection, Christa was inquisitive about it, and Sarah J couldn't meet her reflection's eyes.  We filmed the duet and split it into two sections so that the files would not be too large to download for viewing.

Improvisation

Tara, Dee, Emma and Beccy worked with two chairs as a doorway/mirror between the two halves of the stage.  On one side of the stage they all had to dance Emma's movement, and on the other side they all danced Tara's movement.  The main problems were how to pass through the doorway/mirror point without appearing too clichéd, and how to make the movement on the two sides very different so that it was clear that they were separate areas.  We filmed about 30 seconds of the improvisation, and would be especially grateful for suggestions with this!
