We looked at Rudolph Laban and his ideas on movement, his
basic idea was that there are only eight types of movement that a person can
do: Dab, Flick, Punch, Slash, Glide, Float, Wring and Press. We spent half the
lesson exploring these eight movement types and how they could be used in
characters or to create characters. I found this interesting to see us create
entire characters from a simple movement concept, I learnt that I can use these
movement types to help me become different characters and I will try to
incorporate this when creating characters.
We also looked at movement in pairs by never not touching
each other and doing what feels natural to get from one side of the room to the
other, I learnt that as a class we are very comfortable with each other and
ourselves as we had no issue with constantly touching each other (in a
perfectly non sexual and professional way). We eventually created a group piece
that told the story on a disabled child using all parts of what we learnt
today. I feel my groups’ performance went very well, it was very creative and I
think we got to show the characters mental and emotional struggle.
