Advanced Independent Choreography

  Personal Review and selection  I am now nearly finished choreographing my piece. I have three main sections correlating with the three bits of music I have chosen to use. As I explained in my previous blog, the first section contains the journey to the new home, the second section containing the monotonous everyday tasks the children had to put up with and the third section containing the reflection about the experience; some of which are positives and also the negatives of being mistreated etc. One of the main things I wanted to add to my piece was a repetitive phrase that showed my characters feelings and also personality.
