choreographic ideas

The choreography on the ocean (September 2012) The mast is rising up (elevetaed from the beach with people puling the wropes in) with a marmade on top of it, wrapped into the silky fabric. While the dancer appears on the top, starts the areal dance/Yoga performance with lights and music effects. The atmosphere is arising, from calm or raft switching into the thunder storm with the soundtrack/lights special effects. On the land - on the beach or piere is sited black dancer in a casual position when the knees are pulled in toward the chest. While the dancer from the top of the mast is rolling down the dancer from the ground is rolling towards the base of the mast. Both dancers meet and get elevated up to dance the areal duet, which will be a finale of the introductory piece. Instead of pulling the mast up from the ground, alternatively the sail could be pulled up with the dancer climbing up to the top, while the boat is sailing and entering the harbor. It could be monitored by the cameras and projected on the shore. After the boat anchored, the rest of the above choreography would go on. The site specific choreography (November 2012) Intro - the image of a male dancer standing up and ready to escape and the female dancer is anchored to his food, pulling it in, doesn't want to let him go. The melancholic /dramatic cell/piano/violin music, reflecting the cry and despair of her. Retrospection - the time an movement go back, reversing the events, coming back to the past as it was the present. The music is softening down, the image of a couple: a man turned with his back to a woman, whose chick/forehead touches his shoulder, upper-back, chest, female moving around him with a body contact and weight on him. He embraces her body in his arms as she was a child. She feels safe and protected. She is not looking for anything else to fulfil her happiness but just being next to him. A pure love and open heart transparent by the contact improvisation and some floor work movement, release technique. No lies, no resistance, letting all the emotions out to the world. The softness and fragility of both start slightly turning into an inner conflict having its sources in needs and expectations, the harmony and equality of both are breaking down in to two separated worlds. Back to the beginning of the piece. Very heavy music scores take over: heavy metal, hard core... Ending - the man is hooked to the ankle of the woman who wants to escape from the suffocated and egocentric/fake world they both created. No facial expression on her face, she is completely dissociated from him, her self and surroundings. She's been already there and she doesn't want to feel the pain again. She prefers just disconnect from her body and mind to save herself or die. Motto - there is neither happiness nor misery. The expectations and selfishness of having someone for our own pleasure ruin the purity of the relationship. Not being able to forgive, leads us to loose the self control. The projection of unreal world makes the worse become real. The piece shows the perception of the indifferent world, its approach to what's unreal and focuses on how the negative/positive mind projection can make our life either the hell or a haven.
