Abstract
This dance piece explores my interpretation of movement that speaks through rock music. The movement mirrors the music: the choreography expresses the intensity in the guitar riffs, the freedom in the guitar solo with fluid moments that come from the vocals. My purpose for choosing rock music is one, because it is my favorite genre of music, and two, because it poses a challenge to me style-wise with my choreography. It challenges me to venture out of my comfort zone and get creative with my movement. Another challenge my piece poses is that I am included in the choreography so I must find ways to make sure both my dancers and I are together. Overall, I am anxious to see where this choreography challenge takes me and just excited about the fact that I'm dancing to rock music.
