Movement 5

In our movement piece for Playhouse Creatures we had to develop a 3 minute piece of movement that not only displayed the story of our scene but also showed clear characterisation. In our movement piece we had a sudden rush of ideas and it was great to see everyone chipping in with an idea and how well everyone else accepted and tried out the idea. We also had to incorporate 5 tableaux into it that we'd developed in previous lessons. The end of the sequence was feeling a bit strange, because we represented the abortion then went and curtsied, and it felt like that didn't really mirror the scene because Mrs Farley doesn't actually recover and return to the company. So I suggested that instead of me sitting on Yunusa's back when we represented the abortion perhaps i throw myself backwards and he catch me, then lay me on the floor. This made a really great moment at the end, with the ladies curtsied and Yunusa continuing to read his play with my body lying on the floor behind them.

Movement 3

The Laban Effort Graph


My video will be:
  • explaining the Laban Effort Graph
  • How you can use it in your movements
  • How we incorporated it into our exercises as a group
  • What I observed from the exercise



In my video I mentioned "Dab" which is one of 6 movement actions, these are:

  • float
  • kick
  • punch
  • dab
  • circle
  • and slash
