1 It is tough process. Dancing outside of the comfort zone is one of the hardest step. Analyze each step and each step is new. Creativity is the one of the most valuable characteristcs, but the process is pretty tough. I do need to forget the movements before and think about something new. Explore something unknown and fill the blank. I alos need to remember what I create and organize them into a series of movements.
2 It works. I believe that an amzing and excellent series of dancing movments is consisted of many components, and music is one of the most important. Music is a background to develop a surrounding not only for the dancers, but also for the watchers. Musical rhythm is helpful to guide the dancers to create and express what they think. Also, the rhythm can guide audience to understand further about dancing movements.
3 Music is amaizng palyed by various instuments. Harmony and melody is my favorite. I would like to put them into my chosen music.
1 Specific Methods of Modern Dance: Learned & Applied Knowledge Patrick Haskell I will explore the takeaways from the class. I cover Laban, Mary Wigman, Isadora Duncan, and Ruth St. Denis and their individual contributions to Modern Dance. Since assembling a solo and ensemble performance throughout the semester was a major part of the class, I wanted to acknowledge their specific methods that helped make my pieces possible. I go on to explain how I would apply the knowledge I have gathered from the course to my own field of study. With dance being a minor of mine, I hope to pursue the art after college in some way, shape, or form. The lessons taught in dance are applicable to any field of study as they not only build dance skills, but strong leadership skills. I talk about my own feelings about the experience of the course, the students, and the subject matter. The cla...

1 Honoring the History of Modern Dance Patrick Haskell I had a lot of fun building my solo and ensemble piece throughout the semester. While it may look like just a dance, the pieces are made up of inspiration from Laban, Mary Wigman, Isadora Duncan, and Ruth St. Denis and their methods and techniques. I am excited to have an individual solo to carry with me for the rest of my life. It is something that embodies who I am and I would be proud to perform for anyone. As I stated in my synopsis, I want the piece to be a representation of who I am in the present moment. I hope to reflect upon it in the future when my dreams hopefully come to fruition and acknowledge the growth I have made since then. I enjoyed learning about the pioneers of modern dance and their contributions to the dance style. It was exciting to take their methods of dance and incorporate it into solo and...
