PMD2 Developing Scenes

The above image depicts a structure we are to use for a section of our dance section about Infection. Within the lesson we created movement to feature in a scene of its own, however feedback allowed us to realise the absence of meaning becoming clear to the audience. In response to this we came up with the aforementioned structure, using a technique much like Cunningham's chance method whereby 4 movements depicting the theme were selected and represented by a number 1-4, which when put into an order, dictated the order of the material we would each perform. These movements each depicted an element of illness and infection, and when repeated over and over in a seemingly random order, should build tension culminating in some to be choreographed contact work illustrating the victims attempting to help one another yet only further contributing to their own demise by spreading the germs,

We also discussed the final scene for the performance, and decided upon a rough plan as to how this would pan out and transitions to it. Discussion also focused on the logistics of dates for the performance.
