Group & Duet Piece

Using Jasper's interview with Ellie, we picked out the fact she was saying all the migrants coming to our island (UK) isn't going to crush us.

We decided to look at the idea of a large amount of people attempting to all fit onto one space, this was slightly hard for us as we didn't have anything to actually mark the spot when devising but we were able to come up with the framework with the piece. We decided to show some elevation by holding Robin up, this was to explore the country holding up the weight of all the extra people. One by one we dropped away so she was left without supporting. This was to explore how so many countries have turned their back on the migrants and closed their borders.

I think the piece definitely has potential and I would like to develop it further to make the movements more precise and choreographed as it's currently quite messy. I also think we should prolong the moment when everyone is struggling to fit onto that one spot as I think it could look really effective - especially with the entire class doing it.

Moreover, Isabella and Imogene worked on a duet piece using the rest of Ellie's interview. It revolved around sharing each other's weight - which ties in perfectly with our larger piece. These two pieces can work side by side or separately as they're both about the same subject.

Though both pieces definitely need a lot of development, we're in a better place than we were previously.
