I continued today with my experiment, applying the choreographic system in the construction of a short choreography of 5 minutes.
Statement: today 50% of the welth is on the hand of 99% of population of the world, and the other 50% in the hand of 1% of the population.
Body: human Body in relation to objects.
Dance: ?
Tempo: 5 Minutes
Relation to the audience: Italian stage, audience has a contemplative position
Dramaturgy: as you can see, dramaturgy is the new element of my choreographic system. I understand dramaturgy as the trajectory of the piece, connected with what is happening in the sense of actions.
Choreography of inequality:
In order to transmit my statement, I decided to create this graphic on the space. I will have 100 pieces of paper that in the beginning of the piece are share in the whole space. In the end of the piece, 50 pieces of paper will be placed in a small square, which represent 1% of the physical space. This trajectory is also the dramaturgy of the piece.
Having it in mind, I found myself with my first question: how I am going to do the action of redistributing the pieces of paper.
I had the main action (redistribution) but not the subactions or what happen during the development of the trajectory of the performance. In other words, it was missing the dance. It was the point I started to think about the idea of score and tasks as part of the choreography, and it will be the topic of tomorrow.
In order to solve my problem, I started to experience different ways to reach make my trajectory. For example, using different movement qualities and dynamics, telling a history while I do the action, running or just doing it. But the one I most liked was the idea of counting until 50 many times and in different ways, mixed with different movement qualities.
