Hannah Hansen: Filming Ideas

I came across a video on YouTube and when watching, it gave me an idea of using paint or another media to show how movement between dancers can in a way be transferred onto one another. I really love how they have captured the movement between the two dancers and how they use so many different ways to show the attachment between them. This has inspired me to also create a similar piece of choreography using these ideas and also linking this video with my research on the artist Hannah Hansen. I feel creating the videos and also the inspired Hansen piece will help my project develop by showing how I can physically make art whilst dancing.

Hannah Hansen: Testing

Here I have created a short video of myself testing different chalks, paper and paper size for my inspired Hannah Hansen final piece. I am very happy with the outcome of all the practice pieces as they have given me an understanding of what works best with what paper. I have decided I will use the black charcoal onto white paper for the final sustained piece as it looks really bold and much neater than the white onto black paper. I also feel that having a larger surface area gives the piece much more freedom therefore, after testing A2 size, I would like to move on to testing this onto an even bigger scale. Furthermore, when creating the A2 piece, I moved to the rhythm of the song 'Halogen Hills - The Atlantic' as it is a nice slow paced song however, has changes in rhythm and tempo which gave me the opportunity to test speed. My next step is to choreograph movement to a song and perform the dance onto paper using charcoal.
