Elements of Dance
Elements of Dance is a project based around a dance choreograph that I had created in order to tell the story of an adventure that take you through the struggles of dealing with the emotions of depression. As a dancer, the choreograph is made to tell as story just as art can. The dance is broken up into six different sections, each section representing the prime emotions that one could feel and how they feel. The beginning with curiosity and wonder, passion and a mysterious betrayal of oneself, a false sense of hope, then the decent to unhappiness and hopelessness. Lastly, the return of hope and determination, then rebirth and love for themself. Six characters represent each section.
Briza is the light hearted and adventurous type that wants to explore the world she knows nothing about. Her innocence and optimism can often leave her helpless, naive and careless. She can easily be swayed to do the wrong thing.
Dahlia is passionate and carefree wanderer, still trying to explore a new world. Behind the easy-going and proud attitude is a critical and fearful soul.
Amaya is a realist, though she continues to be an adventurous soul. She is obsessed with the idea of keeping herself from self-destruction and being manipulated.
Nerezza is the more independent side but after many hard adventurous she has become pessimistic and unstable, unable to trust anyone but herself.
Thea is the Yang to Nerezza, more realistic and lively than her counter part. She is still hesitant to open up to others but is more will to take the help of others.
Pheonix îs the return of the light hearted adventurer but now far more confident with herself. Her anxiousness and shyness still remains but now is more open to those around her.
