Dance - Rehearsals + Creating the dance

We did 2 sets of rehearsals, the first of which we did with just emma on her own at this point we didnt have a second dancer but we didnt want to waste time and have to rush the routine in one day.  The aim of this rehearsal was just to work out some basic moves and see what she was capable of. 

We started of by telling her about the over all dance and what we wanted it to look like and then moved on to give her some keywords that related to the themes in our video.  It was interesting to see how she reacted to them as she came up with some different things to what we would have thought of.  As she didnt have a partner it was hard to kind of start moving on from just forming basic things  so we decided to show her some of the videos we looked at for inspiration and sent her home to think it all through.

In the second rehearsal we had to use the su dance floor as we couldnt find a room, this wasn't a problem how ever it did give them a lot of space to practice in which becuase we were filming in a smaller room meant some of the moves they created got made smaller and had less impact.

We started the day similar to what we did in the first rehearsal to see how his moves differed from hers and to start getting basic structure. We then decided it was best to split it up into 3 sections of dance to get the emotions we wanted in each of them.  As harry was a choreographer he got the moves we liked and managed to get them into a phase. We then let them experiment and see what they could come up with  giving them feed back when needed. We were really lucky to get a choreographer as i feel we would have struggled to get into a finished routine in the time we had. 

here is an example of the dance so far
