Dance Reflection


These are two reflection questions on the video shoot the Dance and Art class did together.

How did the site of DongMen alter the choreography that you created in the classroom?
The original plan of our group was for Tyler and I to crawl slowly on the floor, and then to slowly rise up, sort of like zombies. After seeing the place however, we decided not to, the floor was filthy and covered in who knows what. Our group had other problems as well, since our group's choreography includes a lot of stuff on the floor, so we put clothes on the floor to make it "bearable". 

Now that you know this site better; if you were to go back to DongMen, what would you add or subtract from your choreography to make it stronger?

Our theme was the people we usually don't look at, so i would decide to shoot it when it's darker, though I think you can adjust the lighting on a computer, so that doesn't really matter, though it might make the actors and actresses better.

I love this photo. Do you know where it was taken? I like your ideas about adjusting the lighting. What was it like for you to play the main character? What was difficult, and what was easy? What did you learn about yourself in doing this?

It wasn't all difficult, I think it was all right, just that we all have to be patient, because the camera can't be everywhere at once.
I learned that it's not easy to have everyone cooperating at the same time, so we must all be patient
