Ten Walls-Walking with Elephants

I like the beginning of the the walking with elephants is have an upbeats tempo, the beat of the drum act like a heart beat that is racing faster, create an intense moment, I thought this could work well we the dancer is practicing to the moves in the studio, the intense music created a suspense, a motivated music, to keep going and carry on dancing.

However they repeat the moves however adding more moves to it to show the idea of progress.
We then look at the dancers individually, as a solo dancer and to see the moves that they can come up with.





We then did the music Heinali sway sway, this time it was when she is demotivated and not willing to move on, I have notice the way the dancer us the use of space, dancer moves either in a corner of the room or lay of the floor more the motion in which
