In this class we were given board game instructions and asked only to choreograph using the instructions and not to deviate from them. We had Polish drafts which determined the movement pattern of being on a diagonal pathway, this gave us an interesting use of space as it zigzagged forwards and backwards as each team claimed space.
Another rule that dominated the choreography, was that the two teams had to capture the drafts from the other side whilst also protecting the queen. This gave the choreography a theme that pushed the dynamics to become sharp and powerful giving the imagery of a battle. I enjoyed working in this way as it pushed me into a different direction, than if I had just had the idea of a board game and not following the rules precisely.
