Day #3

So, I spent most of class picking songs that I thought would work well with the performance, I noticed a trend that I'm tending to pick songs written by Amanda Palmer...I don't know if I like that or not, I'm kind of debating whether or not choreographing an entire show to one artist would be cliche. I spent a lot of that time trying to find more foreign music, songs that people our age haven't really heard, or even more ambient music. I found Je Ne Regrette Rien by Edith Piaf, I loved it and I thought it be an awesome song to choreograph to, but then I was quick to realize that that song is also know as the "Wake-Up" song from the movie Inception. In class I also sent out an email and scheduled a meeting for tuesday m/x. Outside of class I spent a lot of time in the Black Box working on technique and choreography. So far I have a few movements choreographed that I like, and have already cut one out because it didn't work with the piece.

Originally I had decided to go with asking the community for their secrets but upon further thought I realized that that may not be the best idea as far as creating a piece that satisfies myself. I really want this to be completely original and I think that you with the whole "post-secret" idea has been done too many times. I want something new, something better, and reading the online secrets, they don't satisfy me enough. So here I am still thinking about a medium, a point, but the catch is, that's too difficult to do through dance. It's not that it can't be done, but to choreograph something that tells a story without using words is a really difficult task.... I need to talk to Brian.
