With Holly, we created a short duet using inspirations from the music video Big Girls Cry and Elastic Heart, where the dancer Maddie Ziegler includes many gestures which can portray feeling trapped, and the feeling of being watched, i.e when she lifts her eyelid for a wide eyed expression. She also shows the emotions of frustration and breaking down, for example when she levels to the ground and crawls showing loss of control.
We had strong dynamics and good contact to show the controlling state
To improve, we could add more emphasis on certain actions to highlight key points and more directed movement.
In movement I independently created, I used the idea of a scale from explosive movement to becoming restrained/conformed. I used part of the quote "Because they control the minds of the masses" for this, where the community is gradually brainwashed and restricted of their freedom.
When creating the group motif, our timing had to be necessary as the dialogue of the quote which will be spoken in the beginning, links directly to movements.
