Lea Anderson created works such as Joan, I can see that the choreography is intricate and has been created through pedestrian movements and scores. When I look at this piece of work I feel that the process has been the main focus not the end product. I perceive the work as a piece of art not so much for entertainment purposes.

I found another work choreographed by Lea Anderson, I felt that I had a better connection with this piece as it carried a strong narrative within it, as it was based on the sketchbooks of Egon Schiele a famous painter in the 20th century.

 

  Egon's works contained strong elements of sex and death giving the visuals of the chorography an interesting twist. By lea adding a theme to her pedestrian work it immediately drew me in and became more appealing to watch.

 

Lea Anderson also created an earlier work called Cry Baby Cry their is no video footage of the piece, however we know that it was choreographed through scores and pedestrian movements so we continued in groups to work in this way.

 

I found that by working with pedestrian movements the whole piece became very familiar to what we see in the world around us. Our piece became quite comical as it resembled a mother looking after a disobedient child. I liked using every day movements and then manipulating them through chance, as by doing this it distorted the movement slightly, but not enough that it became unrecognisable.
