Journal #2 (1B)

I decided to recreate part of Jones’ choreography that is portrayed from 6:20- 6:28 because of how Jones’ physical portrayal of his thoughts shows the deep emotional struggle highlighted in this portion. I recreated this excerpt of the choreography while utilizing the 4 phases. In the first phase, I focused more on the action without overanalyzing. For the second phase, I found myself taking more time to complete it because I struggled with vocalizing every motion I was doing. The third phase wasn’t very hard but allowed me to realize my frustration with not being able to speak my mind without any restrictions while perfecting the movements. In the fourth phase, I noticed how much power that is held within one’s core while dancing and speaking. I was only able to successfully pinpoint an emotion in my movements when I utilized my core for both talking and dancing. This made me realize that power is only achieved when all aspects of communication like movement and voice are strategically utilized together.
