Staging the Dance
For this module my role is Stager which involves;
. Choosing the music to compliment the choreography
.
Props
. Costume design
. Lighting display
Stager is a role I’m new to and will challenge
my creativity skills and help me develop new skills throughout the module with
the use of research and
learning new practical
techniques which will be supported throughout the module within lectures,
tutorials and consultations with the tech team.
During the second
lecture each choreographer presented their theme ideas for their dance
performance, each stager had a choice of which choreographer they preferred to
work
alongside, I was
chosen as Stager for the dance Troupe Colours.
The first rehearsal
was formal, an introductory session to each other and the theme of the dance,
within this rehearsal in preparation to the develop the dance, research was
undertaken in recognition
of each individual dancer
to gain a knowledge of the style of dance each dancer is talented and confident
with, which style they feel less comfortable and confident with , this research
will be taken
Into consideration
within the choreography of the dance, with the effect that if the dancers are
happy with the movements within the dance routine they will reach their
potential within the
performance.
