Convey a quote
“We’re all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving” J.K Rowling
- All
- Human
- Worth
- Same
- Saving
J.K Rowling - I was unable to find the writer's interpretation of this quote which leads to me to base my essence statement off my own interpretation of this quote.
Essence statement - This is about more than just equality, To me I see it as equality but of social classes and the “worth saving” part of the quote makes me refer to poverty around the world.
“Poverty is the state of someone who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. It is a multifaceted concept, which includes social, economic, and political elements.”
From this definition of poverty I began to develop my motifs.
My first motif was a very simple reach out with my hand. This was symbolic of reaching out for help, reaching out for food and reaching out for change. I them developed this by reaching not only out up up and also reaching using other parts of my body. I thought the reaching up was important as most people think of the sky being hope and happiness so I took this into consideration.
My second motif was a half squat with my arms one by one wrapping around my stomach, this was symbolic of the hunger that the people living in poverty must feel. This motif tied in with the majority of the slow pace choreography and fro doing this motif the audience can relate it to something to do with hunger.
My last motif was one arm swinging behind me as the opposite leg would flick up with a flexed foot, in one count and then second count is both arms swinging behind as the other foot flicks up with a pointed foot. This motif is like the problems of poverty is chasing the person dancing and they are desperately trying to escape it. “Trying to shake it away/flick it off.”
The times in using this motif is contrasting to the slow choreography previous, it shows the desperation and the ‘last string.’
The music that was chosen had a major change in momentum at the same time as I picked the the pace of choreography it gives a sense of breaking out and freedom but then as the music begins to slow down it movements from the beginning of the choreography is repeated and the hope and freedom is lost. This is an emphasis in the vicious cycle of poverty.
