Today we were asked to research "The Afternoon Of a Thaun" and also to create movement out of the qualities we discovered within the piece. I enjoyed working in this way as it gave me a set style, because I picked out the free flowing movements within the chorography and the sudden pauses. I felt the contrast of the flowing and stillness drew audiences in so this appealed to me.
I also selected the curves that were made using the body, as it showed masculinity which was an important part of the narrative. These influences helped spark movement material and I then adapted it to make a one minute piece.
I adapted well in working in this way, as I ended up mixing those movement qualities with my own take on the piece which was interesting to see. It stopped me from using any pre- choreographed movements that I felt comfortable with, so it also developed my range of movement that I could access.
