Page Number: 4 of 6 pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6add height. Swoop right leg under left leg so to land on left leg. This movement represents the paintbrush being lead by the foot and can be shown using light and dark by performing it with elegance and smooth leap with pointed toes, or by heavy runs and leap with flexed toes.
Section C (1min16secs – 1min40secs) In this section about silent movies, the music increases the tempo which clearly shows the audience that it is a new section. Because the music is faster, I feel that it represents the rush of modern day and therefore links in with the idea of modern technology and filming. Also, the music is that of a silent movie and therefore the audience can easily relate to it. In this section I have taken snippets of movement material from the other two sections and linked them in with the motif for this section (frantic travelling with extreme facial expression). I have done this to create a climax by repeating previous movements and developing them with levels and direction. I have also included jumping and stillness with an almost slapstick humour to add to the power of my ending, by making the piece more adventurous and aesthetically pleasing.

Place right hand on floor as knees meet floor and slide into a fall, ending in a posed movement with focus to the front, head in hands, right foot pointing to ceiling and ‘cheeky’ expression on face. This shows the stereotypical element of a silent movie with exaggerated expressions and use of cliché.
For the majority of the dance my focus is towards the audience. In Section A (painting section) my focus tends to be at the hands as though they are the tip of the paintbrush and I am concentrating on what I am ‘painting’. As my dance progresses and goes through each section, the amount of travelling and different pathways increases to build up to the final climax. Also, the beginning and end of my dance are facing to the downstage right corner yet contrast with levels. I have done this by starting my piece stood up and ended it by laying down. My focus is to the audience in both movements.
As my dance is a solo dance, I have not been able to easily include the use of unison, canon or
