A note from the artists:
"We chose a dance because we thought it would be a good way to express the scene. We chose movement based on the characters and we use different levels and movements to create a tragic ending. The mood is sad, and song is slow and ballet-like."
"The tragic ending in this play is very clear, which is why I chose dramatic movement in my group's dance. All the characters are dying in the duel: 'O, yet defend me, friends, I am but hurt.' This shows and tells how Claudius is dying. Throughout our performance you'll see movement get more dramatic as the scene was as it got closer to everyone dying."
"We thought it was a creative and out of the box way to have the scene viewed. Our music choice brings out the emotion in our dance, and we used emotion on our face so people can understand how serious the scene is."
"The song we picked was 'Death is my heir' referring to the deaths of all the characters that ended to a tragedy, which was sad to see them go."
Very nice job! Such a unique interpretation. There was so much emotion in this dance, it really exemplifies the ending of the play. Impressive!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool way to represent the scene!
ReplyDeleteGreat job capturing the emotion of these scene, both through music and movement!
ReplyDeleteSo cool to see this scene interpreted through dance. I love the way you all begin in unison, dancing together and then one by one each of you falls to your death.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful interpretation. Full of emotion and passion. I especially enjoyed the sword duel. It really captured the essence of the scene......Not naming names but I recognized one of you from our days at GCCS!! Really a great piece of work.
ReplyDeleteThis was so beautiful! Great job, so much emotion in just a minute and a half!
