Another exercise

Another exercise we used for this piece that was earlier on in relation to the Superheroes was Ready Fire Aim. i really enjoyed this exercise as you get ready, fire so we ran and then aim so we froze in different positions. It was fun to see the different things we came up with. And we used the sides of the room as one side would be the silliest pose, in the middle would be a middle pose, and near the end would be the most serious.

Previous ideas before final piece

Before our final piece that Matthias Sperling created, he decided that he wanted us to be Superhereos inspired by his piece 'DO NOT BE AFRAID.'
We looked at a video of his piece to see what it is about and understand it more and get a feeling for what he wanted. We also used it to get an idea of the costumes he wore and what he wanted us to look like as this was what he was aiming for.

After this we got an email saying he wanted to scrap this idea and start a new one that was completely different and he had been thinking of doing for a while. So, we started from scratch.

This is a picture of our map of our piece. It is The final Loop. It shows clearly the different places we have to go to and what we do in each section.

Performance Projects: Exercises

One of the exercises we had to work on during this piece is called what lights up leads.
I found this quite a difficult exercise as i got stuck on different things to lead by. After a while i was doing the same thing over and again and had to think on a wider scale. I then thought about using smaller bits of the body including little parts of the body like the nose, fingers etc. We got told to use this as inspiration and to take the exercise further:
                          Let the body part take you as far as it can only it one direction not multiples.
                          Take it slow and steady 
                          Let the body part take you as far as it can only it one direction not multiples.
                          Know your body                          Explore what lights up in the space first
