So me and Andre and Amy went to see possible locations that Klara have found to this location, one of the location we went to was pretty far, end up it was just another house not even a studio that was there! For my opinion one of the best so far is the Breathe Studio, it was one the spacial and great locations that we all admire plus in ticked all boxed especially having a mirror at the side of the studio.
So I did a session with Malfalda and we practiced in the G28 Building different types of moves, I literally decide to improvise and use a set of terminology such as growth, spinning, and swirls and we used different set of contemporary music that is similar to the one that we want to used after. We also sat together to figure out the moves if you click here you will see the table me and Malfada as talking together, I had a chat and made note to depicted her personality in her dance moves
I also attended dance class with rachel dancer this really help me understand the idea of process when you get to do it, also make a break down from learning differect segments of a routine then different to putting the moves together to make a routine
Malfada also gave me this website called nowness this is an website that a make dance, music and culture this also give me inspiration I kept research shot techniques my scrolling video to get inspiration from
Here is another video I enjoy, this is almost like a documentary of how people are training to do a rehearsals and a collective, I'm researching as to how the camera depict different movements and sections of movements and the ideas of progress is done in the clip.
Abraham Cruzvillegas: Empty Lot |
Gallery Trip on 17th of February ,we went to the field trip with the DFSA pupils, this was a great experience to be in as we are able to get inspired by different artist that used different mix-media, and incorporating different style technique.
Tate Modern
We first went to the Tate Modern Gallery , the first thing we saw was a piece called Empty Lot by Abraham Cruzvillegas this which was a triangle platform created with wooden plants, the planes are lit and regularly water however no seed have been planted it a project to see what might or might not happen.
I thought we should start at the top at level 4 the topic of the exhibition was called media network it the looking work that is portrayed in the media and the modernist artwork and medium they use.
Endless Rhythum, Robert Delaunay |
The Paul Cathedral
Looking at the amazing cathedral it was astonishing to see the intricate
designed and painting, it almost breath taking, to see the art work on
the wall, it so, the methphr behind looking at the work was amazing
So I research on the idea of memory and whats ist definitation and its meaning behind the terminiology
Memory is the process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Encoding allows information from the outside world to be sensed in the form of chemical and physical stimuli. In the first stage the information must be changed so that it may be put into the encoding process. Storage is the second memory stage or process
Memory Loss
I had an idea to show using mix collage video the idea of memory loss, a memory that is disappearing and slowly fading away from you. I thought about the time where I didn't remember anything from when I moves in to the UK, my memory from my childhood is now loss.
Amnesia
Characterized by memories impairment as a result of a traumatic events, losing the ability to remember information, the memories loss goes over the years.
I wanted to use mix media style work such as video collage to create a narrative based upon the idea of memory loss, or something that you can't remember, or have no memories of, I thought that the idea use of using home video to represent a memory and use digital Dlsr or modern film camera to represent the present.
I then had an idea to us audio of when I was 4 years of age to cause I don't really remember that much of those year. When I moves to England I was really fluent in speaking my language and then as I got used to the English culture even for a young age, forgot, I don't really remember the time when I was in Tanzania in such an age. Like we would be sitting looking at footage tape, my mum could remember previous friend I had, but for me I just could remember, it was just another girl.
I wanted to used an audio tape that was a audio of me and my family talking in a my mother tough called Swahili, listern to the tape made me nostalgic, it funny cause I couldn't remember this day taking place, to me listern to this tape just sound like a little girl just talking to me really.
So my dad sent me the tape to me and I looked through them an see what I would do with this tapes.

So while me and Klara went to the gallery trip and Andre went to see Rachel Tutorial to keep her updated on the story of the film and the work we put so far, After we got together and gave us feedback on what he tell Rachel, he showed examples that her had inspired him, she said it was fine and she understand correctly, the read development, there is a lot of thing that she gave us to look at in terms of location, a place called The devil jumps and devil's punch bowl, we'll look into there location. She recommend me a book called Site Dance, by Melanie, to help me more in terms of choreography
I have research this book an many other piece of text and it about the idea dancer who have dance in unique and iconic locations, this is about the space and the enviroment that you are in will effect the the dancing routine.
We also have to look at these terminology and piece philosophy this called Metholody and Pantu Mon I did look up some what these have meant in the term of the idea of reality vs imagery is kinder

For my ideas I was inspired by Veronica briefing of her project on Rotoscoping and the techniques, I like the way images it been manipulated by drawing in it. So I research possible video to show how rotoscoping is done through Photoshop and after effect. And how this work using Photoshop,
I was also looking for ideas and inspiration and I came across this video showing different motion techniques. something that I can get inspired to this was an advert by Giorgio Antoni having two screen to show to perspectives.
I tried to make an attempt in this techniques using aftereffect, so drawing on each frame so, I got a footage of me when it was really foggy day, and took some picture with it, and then using the drawing tool made it as a single frame, drawn of each shot.
Also looked a video collage, using two shot to create and make effect, just looked at different editing techniques to me inspire upon and just to have a different set of video, when people explain a memory having two different shot to tell them by.
This video and collages was inspired video that is emerging together this really cool photography and video piece is something that I was looked to do in terms of techniques. Manipulated and emerging different images together.
So this was the first time we met Malfada, and we wont to see what she can to I ask her to do simple moves we put some much on and see how she respond to the music, we also explain if for our story it will be OK to us her grandma as our, is explain the different types of posture and attitude that we did, we also did a techniques that Klara and Andre liked and worked way around this until we have some moves that she liked
So we develop the idea of the Costume of the 'soul' from our last meeting. Expanding on the idea of the mask and what she will wear for the performance.
The colours that we were looking for Is vibrant colours
however having gold as our main colour scheme.
We were inspired by Masion Martin margiela mask- by Kanye
west Mask, also using colours such as colours such as cold scheme,
having violent and blues and green and then incorporating reds and vibrant
yellows in the clips,We would like to have the Mask covering the whole face.
The energy is shown as a lifeless, and it represent as the
soul hence the reason for the face is not shown. The mask will represent either her personality and idenity, we was looking toward having whole body she will be wearing a skinny
bodysuit however minimal designed pattern.
Couture Mask
Perspective
They way I looked at the mask was an intricate fully designed mask, I thought Indian pattern have detail pattern with vibrant colors.
Music
Also look at possible song that we might use in dance video, looking for more of an upbeat tempo that not the traditional.
Here is the Possible Location that I find for the dance studio, I researched many possible dance studios areas that we can do, one of the thing that I have noticed is that most dance companies tend to either practice in gym since they don't necessary have there own studio so it was a matter of going into different links and sites.
