Reflecting back on my solo performance, I felt that I spent to much time worrying about the musicality than the actual movement. Therefore due to this on reflecting my performance I knew I could of performed a lot better.
Once performing my solo on Wednesday, afterwards I had a very negative feeling, I knew I could of performed it a lot better, and wanted to reperform my solo.
I felt the dynamics should have been a lot stronger and due to this is made the moves not as powerfull as they should of, and therefore it did not correspond with the tempo of the music, by hitting certain beats.
Watching the clip of my solo, I felt it shown understanding of musicality, as well as a different knowledge of international dance styles,
The dance styles that I had interpreted into my Solo were ;
- Wacking
- House
- Popping
- Ticking
- Bollywood
- Samba Reggae
- Maractu
strengths of the performance were; I was able to indentify different styles and interpret them into my dance piece, from when I was given the assignment I felt that I worked independently and started to structure my piece, starting with styles, then musicality. This helped a lot as I like to have a structure or guide to help me, and during the process I would be able to identify if I was developing my progress.
I completed the assignment on the correct date, as well as having the appropriate time management, of 2 minutes 17 seconds.
weaknesses ; I felt I did not put enough characterisation into the piece, and therefore lacked a lot of motion and precise movement. In some sequences my house style looked messy and therefore the dynamics were not developed 100%.
improvement; If I had the chance to perform the piece again, I would take each style and drill the movement full out throughout the whole sequence, by doing this the timeing aswell as movement will be performed to a high standard. But the theme/ story to my dance is I am A puppet that has came alive, escapeing from the box into the wide world, the dynamics were showing this, however, to get into more characterisation, I would dress up as a puppet with full on make -up to show this.
Rosario gave me quick feedback, and explained that the musicality was there, as well as herself being able to identify my story before I physically told her, this therefore made me happy and positive that she got the story from entering the stage, however she explained a lot more performance, I knew I needed to do this and make the moves much more sharper and bigger with a performance face.
I think I lacked confidents when performing my solo piece, as I did not know what to expect, however I am now going to take all this into consideration for all my other performances.
