Throughout these past 6 months, I found many of the dances difficult. This was due to the fact that my stamina had to be high. An example of this was during the Refugees piece. This dance was all about refugees arriving at a camp to find an unsafe and cramped place which they were not expecting. This piece required you to run a lot and to always be on stage with masses amount of energy and intention within your body. Therefore my stamina had to be up to par in order for me to be able to be able to a very high energy dance. During this piece, there were jumps, floor work, small motifs and also repeating sequences.
Another dance that I found challenging was the Basketball scene. This dance was about a game of basketball that becomes edgy with two rival teams playing against each other. In my opinion, this dance was more like an aerobics class due to the high intensity of energy as well as the fast pace choreography. This also required you to look alive and to keep going with lots of energy.
Good awareness of own personal targets. How are you going to improve this skill before the performance? What other performance skill /confidence to perform do you need to consider?
